D708-15 WE Trowbridge by David M Bryson, on Flickr

D708 w/4049 long hood forward and 2 tanks clear East end trowbridge.

D708–25 opening up at Turner Street.

Caught tail end of 708 waiting at Michigan Ave. waiting for Z646 J&L heading south with some scrap gons. 908 now approaching North Lansing. Fun times.

Ah, makes sense. Thanks.

At 11:15 D707 still 3 steppin' in Lake Odessa. Good to see someone else likes to phrase like that. :D Prior to this past weekend I hadn't heard much yard/switching job traffic on the scanner here in Lansing. While 4036 was working, I overhead that phrase "3 step" numerous times. What exactly does i...

Sounds like Q334 is about to run through Ensel. Heard the horns for MLK.

Ack, I meant westbound. Silly autocorrect.

4036 is still at it in Ensel. Looks like 4049 and a BC Rail are sitting facing eastbound. Was that the power on the ill-fated 335?

D801 Does anyone know if yesterday's Q335 made it all the way to GR or if they tied down somewhere outside of town? Last I heard after crew #3 was onboard, (just to get the train beyond Ann Pere) that this crew was to tie the train down at Ensel and would have to put the 155 cars into two different...

The signals west of Trowbridge seem to be lit and operational. Which leads me to wonder, why does CTC stop at The west end of Ensel to pick back up at Lake Odessa? The signals from west end of Trowbridge on are clearly a separate part of the system from the east.

Z646 J&L just called lined, locked, and in the clear at Turner St. Must be westbound through Ensel.

D708-16 opening up at Turner St.

Edit:
Has 8111 today, BTW.

CN 8718 + another CN and ~86 cars eastbound at Farm Ln. @ 1335.

Maintainer has Lake O to Ensel until 1130. Grain train to head east called out of GR at 1000.

D708-12 w/8711 opened up at Turner St. 1030. Webberville and Fowlerville siding today.

Ah ha. Pulled out the scanner. G013-11 has a clear at the Trowbridge diamond 2315. Pulling down to Mt. Hope.

Sounds like lots of activity at Ensel. Q334? Don't have the scanner nearby, but they sure are fouling MLK a lot tonight.
