Dispatch had asked if all of D706's work was in & out of Turner(?). D706 had replied " I have 20 going in & 25 coming out". Is Turner a business inside of Ensel Yard?

Turner street is the crossing at the East end of the yard.

Turner St refers to the switch off the main at theneast end of Ensel yard.

Also, in regards to the bottom ash from Muskegon. It’s supposed to be 2-3 years worth of traffic.

Because D70611 got slowed down at Trowbridge by CN, it was just enough to have the same thing happen at Ann Pere. Heard GLC going thru Howell heading south at 00:25, and the next thing I knew here comes D706 creeping by the house slow so assumed they got to the diamond first. 706 had 211 cars and the train was stopped here at the house on the 136th car. DPU 738 was after the 101st car. 20 minutes later, the tail end came by me at 01:02. They had no trouble climbing Ann Pere hill even with wet rails.
