Z127, 4300? Clear Blackmar at 10:15

Because these LSRC trains aren't symbolled directionally, it'd really help if you posted what direction they're going.

Theres a (presumably) empty grain train sitting in the HESR yard in Saginaw, and mty coal train in the LSRC yard. Didn't see anything working today. Can't imagine that anything normally moves on sunday.

Can't imagine that anything normally moves on sunday.

LSRC usually runs a day job out of Saginaw on Sunday. It often goes to Paines.

They used the Z127 symbol when they picked up a grain train from Paines on a Sunday back on December 23rd. In fact I saw 3 grain trains and a coal empty on LSRC that Sunday, so don't assume nothing goes on because its the weekend.
