L303 sailing through Fox at 16:37. Amazing how fast they go when there's not a Trip Optimizer-equipped GE in the lead!

[sparrow24]

17:27 - L302 west through South Lyon.

[bluewonderrails]

L303 east clear CH84.43 at 19:49. #8095 + #858

Shortly after, L302(?) off Trowbridge siding proceeded, and stayed slow the entire pass-through.

Local bus drivers had to be miffed when they couldn't make legal left turns out from bus/train station despite the train was to the right. Never used to be that way.
