D70731 that arrived in Lansing at 06:00 was just another D708 east end job to Brighton and back. After being annulled Monday and Tuesday, as well as twice last week, I'll believe it when I see it if they actually run one today as this could be a permanent annulment. Overnight, they were at Fowlerville switching the old Thermofil plant by 01:15, by Howell at 03;05 with 17 cars, ran around their train at Brighton, set off the Ann Pere set off in the transfer, picked up the 25 cars GLC left for them in the Howell pass on Monday and still beat Q328 back to Lasing. Now that Thai-Summit seems to be sending no more scrap by rail, there is only two plastic plant industries at Fowlerville to switch other than GLC at Ann Pere, a once a month industry delivery in South Lyon and whatever occasional shorts they get for Webberville. Doc will say they the Unions wont allow it, but they have done it many times before, have 328 set off the Ann Pere cars there instead of Lansing, and 329 pick up the Ann Pere cars instead of Lansing, and they could just run D707 to Fowlerville and back twice a week (like they have lately) and kiss D708 goodbye forever.CantBeShook.WeHot wrote:Q32801 south lyon MI.

Relax. Nothing is getting annulled permanently. Regular assigned conductor and extra board conductor are both on vacation.BL2-1843 wrote:D70731 that arrived in Lansing at 06:00 was just another D708 east end job to Brighton and back.

I think they were trailing because tonight a q327 with them leading is going to have them pull a safety trainTom49801 wrote:Q326 reported from mp 95 @ 10:18am for those who may be watching for this train.Beckyklisslover6814 wrote:yaya the 911 and 1776 can pull the safety train tonightSD80MAC wrote:The SD40-2s from yesterday’s Q326 went back to Chicago on Q327.
