Just overheard RN tell 956 that G010 is heading to webberville. After picking up the grain train at trowbridge they may be needed to help push 956 if they stall on the hill under the 10mph speed restriction currently in place.

The Grand Rapids Eastern came back today around noon with 13 cars. 1 was a tank, the rest CHs, of which most were wheaties, but maybe a few Amways or Plastics in the mix as well.

15:15 according to an earlier post.

Y297 is heading south to interchange at the GRE after working Padnos and the GRE. Also, did D707 drag in those bare-tables from Sunfield? I could just make out the last bit of one of those cars with an EOT on the east end at Wyoming.

N956 was held at Fowlerville while MofW fixed the 10mph speed restriction at Howell to avoid possiblity stalling on Ann Pere hill.. Now, N956 has been sitting at Brighton for over two hours waiting for a fuel truck to get their from Flint, to fuel the locomotives, even though the crew told the powers to be they were low before they left GRP. Now, the crew will never make it to Flint before they outlaw.

After informing two of my neighbors of the impending need to fuel at Brighton, they quickly made up a large sign to flash to them on the bridge west of Howell which said......Diesel Fuel, Next Exit. Made the crews day, so they informed the RN when they got to Brighton. This may may make a you tube video as it was also filmed.

G010 had the G741-22 grain empty spoted into Webberville by 19:30.

A little late but...WTH...21:30ish....heard the RN giving an EC1 to E95028 from CGC34.1?? to north end wye Holland. Sounds like MT's coming out of West Olive after Amtrak got through Holland. Did not hear the train's transmissions.
