L305 west clear CH84.43 East Lansing at 19:10. #8199 lhf, #8066, L&I #2304. 23 cars

L302-28 is right behind L305 with 351 +3263 and 35 cars. L303 by Howell at 19:15 after sitting in Fowlerville for over two hours.

Heh. Drove back home after L305, and thought the signals at Trowbridge were other than R/R at the glance driving by. I wasn't sure with the unfortunate saga of the smoke

L301-28 @ 18:00:02 eastward Monroe St crossing mp 60.72 on Bangor Cam. CSX engine #4070 LHF & 22 cars.

L30528 went power light east from Howell to go to Peaker to pick up the Louisville & Indiana unit, which they did. On the way back west, they picked up last night's GLC set off from the transfer. Meanwhile, yesterday's 53 car set off for GLC still sits in the siding at Brighton, and yesterday's GLC 70 car set off for CSX still sits in the siding at Howell. This in turn has caused L303 to be sitting at Fowlerville for the last 90 minutes waiting for L305 to get by. Currently, L305, is at Ogihara picking up cars they left there going east, but is just departed west at 18:11

Hopefully the car dept repaired all the bad orders today that the fra inspector found on Tuesday in that GLC set off.
