D801-28 @ 7:38pm westward reported by the DD mp CG44.2 with 544 axles & 7,082 feet long. CSXT engines #989 + #5120 & BNSF engines #9322 + #5938 & 130 empty coal cars.

D706-01 @ 7:43pm eastward at Seymour mp CH148.1 with CSXT #3211 leading + CSXT #738 mid DPU. He has an 84 car set off for Lansing. Due to the location of the DPU & the cars to be set off & the conjestion of cars already at/in Lansing, at 8:06pm Dispatch advised D706 he is to sett off the 84 cars at Howell mp CH54.2
Engineer had told Disptach his DPU is "line 54". I'm assuming this refers to his consist roster (I don't know the technical term), and I'm assuming this means the CSXT #738 is in the 53rd "car" position from the leading engine?

D801-28 @ 7:54pm westward, main to siding, east end Grand Junction mp CG53.9 to tie down.

EB Clear at EE Brighton as of 23:29
Dorr Rd. shows Clear for a WB as of 23:37 and Latson shows a Red for an EB, strange.

They seem to be stopping before Walnut St in Howell, possibly cutting at Highlander though I did hear "3211 a-head" or something to that affect.

Update: calling to get lined into Howell siding, they were lined on the main.
