2nd unit on D705 was 8619. Had 141 cars when going by Howell at 05:30. About average seeing its been three days since the last D705. They could run these jobs twice a week every week and make the bean counters on yesterdays P-001 happy seeing customer satisfaction is not a priority.

At 12:57pm Dispatcher had asked X326 if he could take down his signal at Holland mp CG25.3 & X326 said it was ok. A few minutes prior to that, X326 was told to tie down their train "somewhere outside of town". I have no idea where that means, maybe, Grandville? As of 13:30, nothing more heard nor has he gone by the Holland Depot. Dispatch had also told X326 there are no "D Jobs" available to help him out.

It now appears they had tied down their train somewhere west between Saugatuck & Holland until a D crew can be called in to move him.
