Anyone know Y106 current ?

[sparrow24]

D705 westbound through South Lyon.
Green Oak DD at CH39.1 said 682 axles and 10054 feet.
Didn’t hear any signals called, so didn’t get out in time to see the power. Dispatcher called them, asked what their length would be after Lansing. That’s the only time I heard the train symbol.

They do Alto first, all of their work is westbound. They run east to Elmdale, runaround their train then go west. So yes, if you're at Alto you missed them.

Axle math works out to be 3 engines with 166 cars. Are you using a hand held scanner or a base scanner?

Hearing the RN dispatcher talk to D705-04, only hearing one side of the conversation from my radio here in South Lyon. Sounds like they're doing switching of some sort near Stark in Livonia.
The D705 that came through earlier must have been D705-03, but I never heard them clearly enough to know for sure.

D705-03 @ 19:03 westward reported by the DD mp CH126.3 with 472 axles. CSXT engines #103 + #5105 & 115 cars. He's going into Fox mp CH141.8 & tie down his train. Dispatcher had told him there's another 705 called & D705-03 asked the RN "isn't there a dead 705 in the north side pass?" Rn replied yes there is. I'm looking at the time table & wondering what is the North Side Pass?

[sparrow24]

D705-04 clear EE South Lyon at 8:12pm. CSXT 5371 + CSXT 5386 + CSXT 552 + 141 cars.

Green Oak DD at CH39.1 says 582 axles, 8553 feet.

Conversation with RN dispatcher sounds like they're only going as far as Lansing... everybody in that conversation sounded confused, though.

D705-04 just stopped their train in the siding at Trowbridge, so I assume it is getting parked there.
