Did you happen to note what the axle count was for the DD mp CH39.1 report?
296
Hmmmm....that works out to be 104 cars if you're saying 296 axles was the DD39.1 report for D706-13. That's how many cars he had when he arrived at Lansing prior to starting his work there.

Counted cars on D706-13 too but did not write it down and now don't remember. Either 67 or 76, or, somewhere in between.
296 = 71 cars and 2, 6 axle locomotives

Ohhhh man, so sorry, yes, you're correct. I looked at my note pad and actually wrote down 71 cars after doing the math for 296 axles but then I read from a different line in my notes (I need sleep - LOL).

That was D706-14 Micah heard at South Lyon this morning, not D705. By Howell at 05:45 with 775 on the lead and 3220 on the rear. Had 93 cars. 388 axles over the DD at Fowlerville. D70514 should not be in our area until at least noon as late as 706 was yesterday.
