It was only 80 cars. they had 391 on it when they pulled it but took it off in Owosso.

"ONTN" was NB out of owosso with 11:30 with 391/393 and 60 cars - looks like a mix of zfs and some cars for Middleton as well.

09:06 - GLC "OSTN" is SB thru Durand with 382/391 and almost 30 cars for CSX

15:05 - NB GLC OSTN across the Durand diamond with 391/382 and their pickup from CSX in Howell

[AARR]

So far it seems the new GM is keeping the south turn on a day schedule. I have been told there is less congestion at their interchanges during the day so it seems like it would make sense if that is true.
