After also needing to wait for two trains on CN Flint, W003 has signal to proceed as of 13:18.

Backing up first off EE Trowbridge siding then taking main track to continue.

What does this mean? I assume these are contractors out working?
They are customers.

W003 is backing out of the siding at ee Trowbridge and going down the main Now that the WB CN has cleared.

Edit 1:25 clear Trowbridge diamonds.

Edit 1:32 clear CP MA.

Edit 1:52 pm: Dan Cluley on site and w003 is waiting at the signal at WE Ensel Yard.

D705 did leave Ensel sometime recently and had a long cut of stone on the head as well. StoneCo in Lansing, while having zero cars for almost 45 days, has mountains very tall of crushed stone.
