[BL2-1843]

Grain load from Webberville went east by Howell at 22:12 last night. 5315 + 81 on the head end with 89 cars, nine more than the empty had when spotted. Train was either G789-01 or G791-01. "Date" is right but my short memory can not rememeber which one it was. Train came to Webberville from Plymouth as G077-26 but knew it would have had a different number coming into Plymouth. Per "TALK" who said it was G790-21 would have made the G789 or G791 correct as they are usually, but not all the time one number apart as an empty and load.
