Anything special coming through Plymouth this morning? I’ll be there for a couple hours. Also will train traffic slow down tomorrow due to Memorial Day?

The only Holiday that affects CSX is Christmas Day, they really don't observe any other holidays. D705 is already in Grand Rapids & not sure when D706 will be leaving Grand Rapids today, since, yesterday's D705-29 had arrived Grand Rapids around 9pm.

[Tom49801]

D706-30 @ 10:29 is doubling their train in Grand Rapids. He most likely will have CSXT engines #435 + #4538.

D706-30 @ 14:36 released his EC1 from Ensel to Lake Odessa & is ready to proceed eastward with his work completed at Lansing. He had mentioned he was going to stop to pick up 3 loaded cars from "Fowler" (?) to take to Detroit. There was static in the radio call & couldn't quite make out where he'll be stopping. CSXT engines #435 + #4538 & he had 41 cars prior to starting his work in Lansing.

Haven't been listening, but you may have heard "Fowlerville" as CSX does pass through there between Lansing/Detroit. Not too far east of Webberville where there's occasional stops for empty grain and etc.

I went thru the archives and the location in quotes is what it sounded like:

We are going to stop at "Full de hara". When I was on 708 on Friday, I left 3 loads for Detroit in there we're going to pick those up and take them to Detroit.

Sounds to me like Ogihara which is an industry in Fowlerville.

They are probably working them currently

[SD80MAC]

Ogihara is in Howell. Asahi is in Fowlerville, FYI.

[BL2-1843]

Correct on the D706 discussion. Conductor on D706 was the conductor on D708 on Friday and they did leave three Ogihara scrap loads at the plant there in Howell. Currently backing onto their train at 16:20 after picking them up and will be heading east shortly. By Howell at 16:33 with 26 cars.

D801-30 @ 16:31 copied his EC1 to depart the power plant in West Olive mp CGP 1.0 with CSXT engines #7010 + #530 lite. He will be going into Grand Jct siding mp CG54 into the west end of New Buffalo Siding mp CG116.5 to DP a loaded coal train there.
