D70608 by Howell at 11:27 with 59 cars. As L.R.F. stated, both units up front.

[LansingRailFan]

There’s approx 3-days worth of GLC set-offs right now in Ensel. Better weather means a lot of cars freed up compared to the delays earlier in the month.

D706-10 with 3211/738 on the head end looked to be finishing up in Ensel when I drove by.

D70608 by Howell at 11:27 with 59 cars. As L.R.F. stated, both units up front.

"3211 Clear 49" at 11:35
D706 eastbound, clear WE Brighton at 11:39, clear EE Brighton at 11:40 - they aren't saying the date code so I'm not sure if its -10 or -08
Clear 43 (US-23) at 11:44, still no date code. Calling the distant to South Lyon at 11:50.
Approach, WE South Lyon at 11:54, DD reports 248 axles and 3661' - as BL2 said, 59 cars. Just static at 11:59, probably for EE South Lyon.

I was able to make out an "08" from the static of wherever D706 is calling from (at 12:10), so looks like today's train was D706-08.

[amessmann]

Lansing audio feed beginning to pick up D708, sounds like they're working Ensel, will update.

[SD80MAC]

Does it really matter what date the train is to you all?

[LansingRailFan]

Does it really matter what date the train is to you all?

Not I. It's not like they are gonna go get caught up and we'll have train-a-palooza or something.
