Crew arrived in Webberville at 04:25 this morning to put the grain load together from the G077-31 empty delivered to the plant on Sunday evening. Same amount of cars and power as delivered. Departed east for MP25 in Plymouth at 07:55. G077 is usually a generic number west of Plymouth and not the number it came into Plymouth as. Don't believe I have heard his before, if i means anything, but the load went out as G076-02.
