Is there a grain train at Webberville ready to go? I overtook a crew van on EB 96 around 8:45 and it did not exit at Grand Ledge. At least one crew member aboard.

Also, one empty centerbeam ready for pickup at MPC Cashway Lumber on the Nw side of Lansing.

Something heading east pretty sure by the horn pattern past Brighton 11 39
Bob or Adam got anything you'd know?

12:03 EDT Z-ONE FIDDY ONE ARRIVING WYOMING WITH 79 CARS. EVEN TO 4 TRACK. SOUNDS LIKE THEY HAVE 2 DIFFERENT TRACKS OF OUTBOUNDS.

[BL2-1843]

The possible eastbound train Andrew Trains heard at Brighton at 11:39 was actually a westbound. V097-17 grain empty by Howell at high noon with 3340+3392 on the head end with 90 cars. Far as I know, it went beyond Williamston which makes it a Grand Ledge train if not further. Nice meeting you yesterday Andrew. If I had not been napping so long, I would have been cleanly shaven as I don't often go that long in between. It had been nine days.

Q326-18 @ 13:03:27 eastward Bangor's Division St crossing mp CG60.93 with CSXT engine #883 & 108 cars & rear dpu CSXT #775.

Q326-18 @ 13:34 eastward reported by the DD mp CG44.2 with 444 axles & 6,402 feet long. Sounded like he has 10 cars to set off in Holland.

Is there a grain train at Webberville ready to go?.

G-097 went east yesterday (that was V764 when it came up Friday IIRC) so Webberville should be empty. That's not to be confused with the aforementioned V-097 from earlier.

I thought we weren't getting any more until the fall?

Not sure why there's a duplicate post below this.

Q326-18 @ 14:23 eastward stopped clear of the Holland Depot mp CG25.3 with CSXT engine #883 & 108 cars & rear dpu CSXT #775. Engineer had said he has 10 cars to set off in Holland.

Probably D708. Any idea what industries they have to work today?

[Tom49801]

Q326 had advised Rouge Tower the CSXT #883 had a dynamic brake failure & cannot be used as a leader tomorrow.

I couldn't find the original post, it could've even been texted to me at some point.
I thought I had heard that said a few times, that after the slew of grainers a few weeks ago we wouldn't be getting any until the fall.

D70818 east, by the west end of Howell at 17:10 with 39 cars. Leaving cars on the main line, backing into the siding to pick up GLC cars to take to Brighton and run around their train and then back west to Turner Street, Lansing.
