D708-12 had 81 cars heading east through Howell at 6:20pm The first 65 cars were grain and tank cars apparently from Webberville. They went direct to Brighton to run around there train and are currently at Ann Pere setting off their GLC cars, picked up the eight ash cars GLC just set off heading south. Departed for Lansing at 20:30 with 68 cars A new female RN dispatcher working afternoons today with a voice I have never heard before. Been a long time since Tammy left.

Perfect amount of cars on D70513 west of Lansing per the DD count, Tom. 705 was by Howell, right on time again, at 02:15 with only 40 cars. 3220 on the lead, 775 on the rear. With the 68 cars D708 took back to Lansing with them yesterday, and the 40 that 705 had here, there is your 108 cars. More than likely, the rear DPU here became the mid DPU after Lansing.

If GLC only set off 8 ash cars last night from your report around 7:45, was the siding still full from Tuesday’s set off?
