Might have been the local, about 20 inbound Kings overnight to the GRE. 2 or 3 trips to Lowell today I'm going to guess. Engine plus 3 supers on 371.

Please do not poke at the ramp agent because he has the power to make your vacation
memorable or miserable. It all depends on what flight you bags go on.

There is at least one G010 out between Lako and Ensel. At least one of them was going in the siding at Sunfield.

Here is some info on the other posts for today:

CSX combined a G74911 grain empty with CSX 7623 for power, and a G84910 grain empty with 410 for power at Toledo overnight and ran them west with 140 cars as G74911 with 7623/410. Crew sat off part of the train in the Williamston pass and took the power and the rest of the train to the Trowbridge pass.

Meanwhile, when Q33517 fell down earlier today in Plymouth, a crew was called to bring the power from the G749 train at Trowbridge and take it to Beck Rd to get the the Q335 train. Power ran east as X09617. Crew has returned with the power already reported as seen at Beck Road. The E945 Essexville coal emtpy had the CSX power, as reported, because the BNSF-KCS power was on Q392 today.

The G010 train coming east is coming to get the grain empty at Trowbridge and spot it in Grand Ledge, and to get the empty grain in the Williamston pass and spot it at Webberville. Unknown which they will do first, or if they will have time to do both.
