L302 did have quite a few Lansing cars its consist, and was not one my counting error typo's, considering it was originally reported as having 60ish cars when leaving Detroit. Surprised amessmann did not mention the time it took L302 to get from Howell to near Lansing. 302 got delayed 45 minutes at Fowlerville waiting for L305 to get there.
