00:10 - B235-12 into the siding at Beck rd.

As of 13:00 I do not believe they have left Plymouth.

[BL2-1843]

I can see the writing on the wall already. With 3289+3209 running on L303-15 today, the power that has been working on R598 ever since they came into GRP on a G124-10 grain train on 3-12-23, 3300+3387 will be the new power to replace 3289-3209 for the next two months.

Eastbound by Trowbridge at 1603

[amessmann]

17:08 - L303 east thru Brighton with 104 axles or 23 cars, no visual.
17:57 - L302 west thru Brighton with 320 axles or 77 cars, 862 leading, no visual. They met L303 at South Lyon.
I was able to pick up the 39.1 DD (and in fact from CH 34 to CH 51) by moving my antenna about 9-inches from yesterday, not that I intend to start posting the detector reports.
