Horns in Brighton as of 19:23, I presume D705 since there have been no reports of D706 from the west.
G803-23 eastbound through South Lyon at 19:34. CSXT 3354 leading, per radio.

Green Oak DD at CH39.1 said 372 axles, 5499 feet.
"Sparrow24 could be described as a mediocre railfan, as he is generally disinterested in horn types and couldn't tell you one locomotive from another."

Q327 not ready to depart. They are just moving over to the odd side to set up their train with a locomotive on each end.

Q327-27 has their train together. Waiting for the conductor to walk to the head end. Then ready to depart

D706 power, 5453 & 5498, is working their way over to 39 track to get on their train.

Since we have all new symbols, G803 is ADM Webbervile > Rocky Mount, NC

Also, D706 got the EC for Ensel before D708 could so D708 has to wait until D706 finishes their work.

Sounds as if D706's train was coming apart on them or so in Williamston.

Update: Not exactly sure the scenario but friend just text saying he got D706 in East Lansing, clearing CH84.43 at 13:11. D708 should be behind it, but may have to wait for A492 on CN first.
