JAIL lined NB at Cedar 9:20 AM

9:48 AM - power light SB across MLK/N. Grand River headed down to Padnos/Alro/Saginaw Yard/CN?

JAIL took a cut of the stored DTE coal cars to the interchange with CN today. Then they headed back north.

They were in Ensel at 12:15 when dispatch notified them that the CN Lansing Local R934 brought the previously bad-ordered depressed flat car back to the interchange as the bad brake pipe had been fixed.

They are making a rare second trip down to the CN interchange to pickup the depressed flat car before they take it to Reid Machinery on the Quality Dairy spur.

JAIL north by Michigan Ave at 13:17
