Rouge last night (11/27) at 22:24 was asking someone in Grand Rapids what road would be near where D706-27's crew time had expired to send a cab to pick up them up. He was stopped on the main just east of Brighton & was either at Challis Rd mp CH46.67 or Bauer Rd mp CH47.98
I don't know if the train got re-crewed.

D70627 had issues with lead unit 339 before reaching Lansing. After making his set off and pick up, things got worse at Williamston and called the mechanical desk. Determining what the issue was, but not fixable, they kept going with only "half power" on the lead unit. They were not to happy to find out they did not have a clear signal coming in to Howell and even less happy to find out the reason was because they had to run thru the pass around the 67 cars parked on the main for GLC, who, were not working over the holiday weekend. No one ever told them before leaving GRP, or Lansing, that they would have to do this, or, they would not have made their pick up.

The results, with their 104 car train, they stalled on Ann Pere hill and after trying four times to make the hill, gaining only little each time, the lead unit totally died at Latson Road. This morning's D70527 with 5294-5284 on the head end, cut off from their train east of Brighton, came west to Latson Road to drage D706's train into the Brighton pass. Going back to pick up their own train, they proceeded west with a fairly long train They had a 31 car set off at Lansing but did not know how many if any they would have to pick up there. Powers to be told them to skip all Lansinsg work and try to make Fox. End of story.

Low Oil Pressure on 339. Dianostics from Jax could reset it but it kept tripping. Once it gets to Detroit, it is entered into the computer to "Send to the nearest repair facility" I have seen that before but once the next crew gets on the trailing unit to move the next train, it's all forgotten until the next train stalls with it again.

D905-28 @ 18:21 Grand Rapids job briefing with the RN Dispatcher: CSX engines #3201 + #863 lite power with the engineer saying "we're going to rescue a train". He's referring to D705-27 that had tied down at the McCords Rd crossing mp CH137.27 @ 11:58am today. D905's power is from today's Q326.
