NS 38e headed west with a 25th anniversary operation life saver dash 9 leading

What is its destination?

[Ypsi]

Jackson then it will flip late tonight as 39e and head back to Wayne

[Racer]

39E should be in Livernois Yard by now. They met another train at CP Mort which sounded like 38E based on the conversation by the Dearborn Dispatcher.

39E had NS 9204, NS 7536, and ABRX 1512 which is the legendary SW1200 switcher that handled freight train duties on the Michigan Air-Line Railway. The MAL's caboose was tacked on the very end of the train (nostalgic!). They worked Wayne Yard and had a decent-sized when they continued East (I think 56 cars if I counted right).

39e had a switcher and caboose last night. That's cool! Taken from Jackson or something?

Look at the second half of the previous post.

The switcher and caboose was part of the MAL's equipment that was stored in Lansing on the JAIL when the MAL was ripped-up. The F7 was left behind and still in Lansing for some reason.
