All and all a good night chased Y321 to Z151, to D803, to D700, to Z151. Plenty to see and do while the world sleeps...

AMTK had #14, 34134, 35007, 34026 on last night. up nice and near the GRE crew shanty again. Looks like NS has a single tank to grab tomorrow.

All quiet at the GRE. CSX picked up last night, no delivery that I could see. No visit by NS, must be they're on a 1 visit a week, whether it's needed or not. They made a visit north Monday night but it must have been just to run around the Wealthy Street Padnos loads.

believe d803 went eb by east waverly with eastern empties at 510am
326 eb by east waverly at 720am with 2 motors and 40 cars
should make track 1 at grandville for 371 if the detector doesn't
find a problem.

All is quiet on the Marquette too. You can tell it's mid-week, lower car counts. No biggie. Off to Manistee I go...
