Sounds like G801 at ADM Grand Ledge w CSX 7015 leading has its EC 1 to operate both ways between Ensel and Grand Ledge siding. Train will head east to Plymouth.
As of 00:00 they can be heard on Broadcastify, just three-step calls from 7015. https://www.broadcastify.com/webPlayer/22783
G801-28 had copied his EC1 at 10:54pm with CSX engines #7015 + #275 & 90 loaded cars. Seemed there was going to be a time issue for the crew & they were to leave their train on the main at Howell mp CH54.2 for the new crew.
The CSX Plymouth & Canadian National Flint Sub Broadcastify scanner https://www.broadcastify.com/webPlayer/18777 heard last night's calls much clearer than the CSX West Michigan scanner.

G801-28 from Grand Ledge highballed through Howell at 03:00 this morning. Heard them on the radio between Williamston & South Lyon so they evidently were not that short of time.

Sounds like Y106 is heading east. I can hear the unmistakable sound of the Leslie RS5T on that GP40 rebuild.

Z151 is in the yard grabbing their cut. 3406 and 2041 are the power today. Kind of unusual to see this duo versus the normal power set these guys have.

Y197 just crossed Plaster creek and is working columbian. They have brought two covered hoppers with them and left them on the lead while they do their work. Also worth noting there are two boxcars at Michigan Natural Storage, first time I’ve seen these guys get cars.
