[Sorry Bob. Was in a bunch of meetings yesterday afternoon/evening and neglected to throw that one up. V744-26 with CSX 3026/CSX 539, both units forward facing.
Thanks MUCH L.R.F. Red Rocket was on that job as well. By the way, I eventually thought of his real name, before you told me yourself.

D708-01 just set off 62 cars in the Howell pass for GLC, picked up 31 cars from GLC and departed back to Lansing at 15:50. I believe they have some shorts to pick up at Ogihara on the way back as well.
D906 crew came up from Plymouth to Webberville in a cab. They got in the two units from V744 and rescued the old D706 that is sitting in Brighton last night, taking it to Rougemere. One of the units will hopefully be turned for the crew that has to pull grain train out of Webberville in the next 24 hours or so.

D906-01 crew arrived in Brighton from Webberville with the grain empties power just prior to midnight. They were on their way east with the 104 car D906 train parked there for five days just prior to 2am. Crew informed the RN the lead unit, 339 was dead and drained, and now had a low battery, and trailing unit 406 had no working air compressor. Other than that, the power is good to go. What I do not know if the crew returned back to Webberville with the grain train power or not.

Meanwhile, GLC Z624-01 arrived over onto CSX at 00:15 with GLC 386+382+392 to set off 48 cars in the Howell pass and pick up the 62 cars left by D708-01 yesterday. They cleared off the main and back on to GLC at 01:35. Regarding "Talk" saying the leader on Q326 yesterday, 544 was a YN2 unit, 544 has been in YN3 paint for many years.

D801-02 @ 12:42 eastward reported by the DD mp CG44.2 with 544 axles & 7,266 feet long. BNSF engine #9132 & CSX engines #3167 + #3440 & 130 loaded coal cars & rear dpu BNSF #6264. This was N801-30 that tied down in Grand Jct yesterday. He’ll wait on the main at the e/e Wells mp CG for D700 to go around him & he has to wait until 15:30 before he can pass thru Holland due to track usage time that the MoW crew has in Holland.

Q326-02 @ 12:46 eastward Holland Depot mp CG25.3 Main to Pass Track & back onto the Main at Waverly with CSX #544 & mid dpu CSX #8909 & 54 cars.

Thank you Bob! I've been quite busy recently, all of that information I heard was from the scanner.

I heard that as well Sparrow.
