13 cars seems a little low. D705 had 99 cars when passing Howell at 09:22, and running super slow beside. They may have had locomotive problems seeing 4037 was added at Lansing.

D705 is joking with D706 as they are passing by D706 in Lake Odessa Siding saying to D706 "don't blink, you'll miss us!"

At 15:58 (3:58pm) he released his Form EC1 with this work now done at Lansing & will be heading east towards Detroit. Also, my error, his i.d. today is D706-27.

Much to my surprise, (because I had not read it was even out of GRP yet) D70628 went by Howell at 17:10 with 5459-3252 and only 12 cars. Right behind them was D708-28 with 80 cars, who pulled into the passing siding here, the first 39 looked like grain cars from Webberville. GLC arrived at Ann Pere as well between 706 & 708 who has 42 cars for CSX. D708 now has 4016 paired with 8400 replacing 4037 which has been on D708 since March 12th. They are currently on their way to Brighton to run around their train and will pick up cars out of the transfer on their way back west.

D708...on their way to Brighton to run around their train.
Pulling into the siding to run around now. 18:12.
Backing onto the west end of their train at 18:24.

4016 has an interesting horn.

D736 sitting just north of 12 mile road with a green signal, BNSF lead unit? and CSX unit trailing. Can’t quite make out the numbers yet or even if the loco is BNSF
