302 at S. Lyon at 1750.
Now past Fowlerville at 6:55 pm.. 826 + 3152 on the head end with 115 cars. Empty auto rack on the rear with no end doors on it. 13 cars of stone nearer to the front. Finally some scrap tie loads for GLC on the front. The lack of GLC traffic recently keeps 302 & 303 shorter. 305 was only at Howell a couple of days this week for GLC work.
