D708 approaching west end of Fowlerville at 14:10 with instructions to the RN to go to South Lyon to run around their train there. They did not say anything about stopping anywhere else but have seen that before and they gave Ogihara a switch on the way east which would delay their arrival in South Lyon.

Drove by Peaker today and it appeared that they are hiding the one locomotive that is currently there. The nose of the locomotive is just barley visible.
