D705 approaching snail-paced on Trowbridge siding in East Lansing. Dwarf signal is red. Anyone know whether its going to be OD or something else?

Edit - stopped with lights still on at 1819. Not too far from crossing.

As of 1944, D705 Westward through Trowbridge/East Lansing. They had decoupled from where dpu 751 was probably in Williamston as that was the third unit from the front. All the freight behind 751 along for the ride.
