So does D706 only go through SL once during the bday or will it head back north this evening?
D706 & D705 run only one way and on different days. D706 will run on Monday & return as D705 the next day.
D706 runs eastward only on Monday, Wednesday & Friday starting from Grand Rapids & ends in Detroit.
D705 runs westward only on Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday starting in Detroit & ends in Grand Rapids.
Neither of these trains run on Sunday.

Thanks for that information!

Q326-28 @ 1:26pm eastward reported by the DD mp CG19.1, the information was stepped on by another radio call. :(
Q326-28 @ 1:57pm was heard saying to D702 he had dropped off 5 cars in Holland (left him with 46 cars going into Grand Rapids).

Just heard a horn of a CSX train in Howell. No idea what it is if it’s D706 or D708.

Those must be the remaining well cars from Trowbridge siding. Hulcher had to bring in some equipment last week to fix some bad wheels on them. It’s the only siding on the Plymouth sub that the geo train couldn’t run over due to the cars not being able to be moved.

Sometime tonight. There are green signals for a WB in Howell so they most likely will drop those well cars in Plymouth and high tail it back to Howell.

Freight trains don't have schedules. If someone sees D705, they will post about it.

That was W003, but yes it did go east last Monday, Sept 21. By Howell at 6:05pm. You continue to ask what time D705 goes by South Lyon, people reply and you continue to ask. Nice posted video of D706 today Micah. D708 currently in Howell picking up the 63 cars GLC sat off for them last Friday, plus three others. No Ann Pere set off today. They just got the signal to leave town at 20:07.
