Lots of large stone going west soon.
Any update on that?
Yes, About 24 hours after the next D706 train goes east.

Yup, they go on the D705 when it goes West. I presume set off at Ensel, then Conrad Yelvington nearby?
Also, 705 and 706 are Grand Rapids to where? I thought I heard into Detroit?

The stone can go a variety of places. Stone Co in Lansing, Stone Co or Michigan Paving in Grand Rapids, and the West Michigan Railroad all get stone in a variety of sizes.
