18:45 - L302 west through Latson Rd. (Howell)
CSXT 972 + CSXT 3084 leading.
L302-14 @ 21:02 westward reported by the DD mp CH104.3 Mulliken, Mi with 200 axles. CSX engines #972 + #3084 & 47 cars.

Heard in a conversation today between L301 & M326 "Detroit just added 2 more trains arriving there (from ??) which is going to delay L302". I'm guessing this means a later departure time for L302 will be happening?

Amtrak P370-14 @ 21:10 eastward, Engineer reported no defects for the Defect Detector mp CG91.9 St Joseph, Mi. IDTX engine #4621 & 3 cars.

E800-12 @ 21:35 westward reported clear of the St Joseph Bridge with BNSF engine #6332 & 129 empty coal cars & rear dpu BNSF engine #5808.

L302-14 @ 21:46 westward reported by the DD mp CH126.3 Clarksville, Mi with 200 axles.

Amtrak P370-14 @ 21:48:30 eastward Division St Bangor, Mi mp CG60.93 live cam IDTX engine #4621 & 3 cars (2 Ventures + Horizon Cafe) with 5 passengers Off at the station mp CG60.5
