23:03 - EB on M1 passing MP 225 with an approach signal, the conductor referred to the signal as "Hagadorn Rd." Led by 2932 with 3965 mid-train. Calling a stop at Okemos at 23:08, they will meet a westbound. Interestingly enough, as of 23:33, they are lined both in and out of Shaftsburg, maybe running the switches or passing hi-rail? ...01:38, WB lined both in and out of Shaftsburg.
23:09 - WB M397 passing MP 225 with 8856, 2204, 2616, 2571, and 2567 leading! Traffic hardly had time to start moving before the gates went back down.
23:28 - Another westbound passing MP 225, ATCS also showing a second train. They will wait at Potterville M2 for an EB after M397 clears Walton.
