D705 westbound through South Lyon at 17:36. CSXT 5294 leading, per radio

Confused operator initially called "WE Fowlerville" then corrected to "EE South Lyon"

Green Oak DD at CH39.1 said 560 axles, 8319 feet. 137 cars.
D705's trailing engine is most likely the CSX #828. Yesterday's D706 had ran with the #828 + #5294.

That would change the car count to 134 for the 560 axles reported by the DD39.1 Wonder if they will they be taking all of the engines to Grand Rapids, or, if the #3026 + #539 will be set off at Webberville?

As a side note to D705-02, as Lansing Rail Fan thought they might, they did turn 539 around to be back to back with 3026 so they would have an eastward facing unit for the Webberville grain load. With nearly 9000 feet of train and 12,000 tons, I would think they would set these two units off at Lansing with their set off instead of trying to make this move at Webberville. But again, you never know.

From the it figures department, GLC showed up at Ann Pere blocking the diamond as D705 was going through Brighton which stopped D705 for awhile. RN got them to back off from it to get D705 by, but with more cars sat off on the main today by D708, 705 had to run this monster through the passing siding anyway..

Glad to hear that they flipped 539 around.

D705-02 dropped 3026/539 off in Lansing w the head cut of their train for Lansing as well. I noticed some more coils on there as well for RSDC via JAIL.

Scanner has G827-01 It was muffled on scanner but they are OD. 539/3026 will go power light to ADM Webberville to build the grain train to take to Plymouth tonight.
