Heard JAIL on the west side of Lansing about 3:00-3:30 am, so I assume they went to CN tonight.

They had almost 20 cars for CN to pick up (it's been over a week). Looks like Padnos has been using AIMX gons as well as other COER/ATF/IC gons. Must be some spring cleaning going on at Padnos. Other empty coils from RSDC, loaded tank cars from the transload as well.

15:25 - HESR Job 702 arrives in Durand

16:32 - HESR Job 701 backing onto the PH Wye so they can depart Durand and head to Saginaw

JAIL ran overnight last night to Lansing and did not run during the day today. With CN dropping five cars for them today at the interchange, I'd presume a daylight run tomorrow.

ADBF pulled another grain train from Blissfield MAC elevator yesterday.

NS picked it up yesterday morning. It was reported EB thru Romulus around 10:30 w two NS wide cabs running LHF.

The empty grain train must have originated from from the east if it had west-facing units elephant style.

I think most of Blissfield MAC’s crops have been going to Toledo this year.
