19:17 - D705-05 calling clear for CH 43 (US-23).
19:22 - Dispatch could be heard talking to GLC Z624. As of 19:25 I am still picking up parts of the conversation, but not much.
19:23 - D705-05 calling a clear pair for Brighton, "D705, that's the train I'm on."
19:26 - D705-05 calling clear for CH 49. 3399 leading as per radio.
19:35 - D705-05 calling an approach for CH 51, also talking to dispatch, not wanting to stop at Ann Pere with their 8,800' train. It sounds as if GLC is still working.

Your turn Bob.

D700-05 @ 19:33 eastward reported by the DD mp CG19.1 with 52 axles (+4 error) & 449 feet long (228 ft less than DD91.9’s report & 244 ft less than DD44.2’s report). CSX engines #6544 + #6546 & 10 cars. Intermittent issues for DD19.1

[BL2-1843]

CSXT #3399 + 439 (elephant style) with 144 cars and 8,847 ft. He’s going fast

Fast enough to get the second unit wrong. It was 485 which has been running both units facing forward with 3399 on Tuesdays D706-04 and Mondays D705-03. They took a 15 minute delay at Ann Pere because GLC still had the diamond blocked.

Thanks Bob, it was hard to tell what the second unit was so 439 was a guess

D708-04, who did not run on Monday, came direct to Howell from Lansing today with 8849+8388 on the head end and put 60 cars for GLC in the passing siding. Departed back west for Lansing power light at 14:15.

Bob - idk how to quote two posts but D708 did bring cars for GLC on Tuesday this week.
