[BL2-1843]

L305-15 has just spent well over two hours at Ogihara (Thai-Summit) at Howell switching out the mess of cars that has been plugging up the plant for months. 305 had five empties for them but had to sort out and pick up 20 loads (most ever) before they had room to set off the five empties. 16 of the 20 pick up cars had been freshy re-lettered CLVX by Thai-Summit. Most CLVX cars are in the low 9200 numbers series, others were 2009 & 19747 & 19752. Could not tell how many more cars were in the plant after picking up the 20 today. They will be going to Brighton to run around their train before heading back to Lansing.

[amessmann]

L305 in the siding at Brighton, L303 has a clear signal east at the WE. GLC can be heard presumably southbound towards Hamburg.

Amtrak P370-15 @ 22:31:28 eastward on the live cam Division St crossing Bangor, Mi mp CG60.93 with IDTX engine #4603 & 3 SuperLiners with 4 passengers Off at the station mp CG60.5

[amessmann]

I was wrong, GLC was headed northbound and asked permission onto CSX's mainline, they were denied given that L305 was about to head west after letting L303 pass at Brighton.
As I was on my way into Howell I heard L305 on the phone with dispatch as their time was running out. Last I heard they were taking the siding at Fowlerville, cab on the way. Not only do 8903's ditchlights not flash when the horn is blown, but conductor's side ditchlight is out. 8199's engineer's side number board has a failing light too.
