L305-29 got the mess of cars at Brighton and Howell cleared out today. They moved the Brighton cars for GLC and parked them on the main at Howell, and finally grabbed the 70 cars from GLC that were in the siding at Howell. L302-29 ran through the siding around the cars on the main and proceeded west behind L305 at 19:00 with 73 cars and 844 + 3169 on the head end.

20:14 - L303-29 crawling thru EE Brighton on the main after getting permission past the stop indication at the EE. Not a good day with their two hour stop at Fowlerville and run thru the siding at Howell.
L305 did not pick anything up at Brighton today, the cut still sitting in the siding. Their only stop here was getting permission at the EE to continue to South Lyon.
Unsure if westbounds are encountering signal issues.
