Seems Odd that it would be marked a Trail Only, Didn't it lead 2 Days ago out of GR without issue?

CSXT #988 yesterday 4/27, was the leader on Q326-27 & around Riverside while waiting for Q327 to pass the #988 had shut down. The Mechanical Dept. had to call GE for trouble-shooting & they got it working. He was by Bangor Cam at 11:53am, made his set offs at Holland, and a re-crew at some point brought him into Grand Rapids.

D705 by Howell at 10:18 with 143 cars. About average for two days worth of train out of Detroit. Same power as Tuesdays D706 into Detroit. The G764 crew that took the grain load out of Webberville to Plymouth yesterday and brought the next V76427 empty back west, got the train into the Williamston siding and tied down well within their 12 hours of on duty time. Far as I know it has not been spotted yet at Webberville.
