L302 and L303 reportedly met in Fowlerville around 17:50. No visual on either.

What a shame because L302 had six emtpy cars for Ogihara. ZVBX 625774, 625776, 1052, 97064 and ITFX 320132 were five of them but not necessarily in that order. 3396 + 7015 was on the head end, power that was also on L302-22 on June 22nd. Power for L303 was 700 + 5205. Was surprised U30325 had power I had not seen yet, 3174 + 3252 when going by Howell around 01:30.

Thanks for posting L302-26’s engines CSX #3396 + 7015. They were on B523-25’s steel train NB to Detroit. Yesterday’s L303-25 has CSX 3174 and CSX 7252 since they ended up yarding M326-25’s train I think.
