Not quite sure myself. I thought it was something else at first with a different lead realizing the time but then seeing 5222 told me otherwise

Just checked my log book for 2020 and D708 has yet to change both of their units at the same yet this year, only one unit at a time. 5500 had been on this train since May 26th. Because I did not see 5336 listed as part of any west end train, am surmising this unit was also with 5432 & 415 on D905 Sunday morning as the axel count at Fowlerville did indicate three units.

D708 still switching Fowlerville at 20:11 and if they don't make Howell, the 77 cars sitting in the Howell passing siding since last Friday by GLC will have to sit another day.
