Eastbound G714 on it's way thru Brighton, calling the EE at 20:42.
No visual and lots of static. IIRC there should be a second (I guess V train) in Plymouth still right? Maybe this crew will take it west tonight?

G714 east calling clear for CH 43 at 20:46.

Is it safe to say 326 is annulled today?

Where is 104.3? If this is west of Lansing what would bring 707 that way?

D706 @ 06:33 Grand Rapids called the Rouge Dispatcher saying "on board the #530 & ready for a spin". The CSXT #530 was paired with the CSXT #7010 & worked the D801, D802 & D803 jobs. The CSXT #530 had issues the other day so they took the CSXT #16 from Q326-12 & paired him up with the CSXT #7010. They might be running D706 today with the CSXT #5409 leading & #530 as the trailing engine.

Amtrak P371-14 @ 06:39 westward reported by the DD mp CG19.1 with 16 axles & 306 ft. IDTX engine #4609 & 3 SuperLiners.

Hi, the DD at mp CH104.3 in Mulliken is west of: Lansing mp CH88.3 & Ensel mp CH90 & the west end of Grand Ledge mp CH99.1 From what I had heard, they had originally gone eastward as lite engines & guessing there were cars in I'm guessing in or to be taken from Grand Ledge & work inside Lansing. They had cars for JAIL (Jackson & Lansing Line RR). I do hear them few times working that area, not sure if it's a regular thing or on an "as need" basis.

D707 is the local that works west from Lansing. They go on duty late in the evening. I believe Sun-Thursday. They usually seem to head west between 11pm & midnight. Back to Ensel early, early morning. Don't recall how far they cover, but I assume everything that Y106 doesn't handle.

If you look at a map of Ensel yard, the CSX yard tracks are the ones to the North of the 2 main lines. There are 2 or 3 tracks South of the CSX main & those are the JAIL interchange and JAIL's line to Saginaw yard and their CN interchange.

So the JAIL cars just get pulled out the end of the yard and shoved right back down the interchange.
