751 was DPU again this morning, 44 cars back. Evidently no Lansing stop because the same amount of cars went by Howell at 06:35. Not known if 705 only had 115 cars out of Detroit or if they sat a bunch of their train off and left them at South Lyon due to stalling coming up the hill out of Plymouth with the same power issues that 706/906 had yesterday. They did take a long delay between Plymouth and South Lyon. Which by the way, both regular assigned units to these trains were back on the head again on D906 Saturday, after running DPU on Thursday's D705. Wouldn't surprise me if there was another D905 train coming out of Detroit today.

Q326-18 @ 11:43:48am eastward Bangor mp CG60.72 with CSX engines #795 + #460 & 97 cars (he had 3 loaded coal cars).
D801-17 @ 11:53am westward reported clear of the St Joseph Bridge CSX engines #3065 + #817 lite. He's headed to the west end New Buffalo mp CG116.5 to tie onto N800 that was left there sometime over night. The D801 crew was asked by the Bridge Tender if they're coming back & the reply was "on rubber wheels" (assuming that's the cab) & that they were to just tie onto N800. Earlier, before he had arrived Bangor, the Dispatcher had asked D801-17 for engine numbers & a car's serial number. He had read off BNSF engines #8426 + #6002 - he had dropped off an empty coal train inside Wells siding at mp CG43.3 since these 2 BNSF engines were on yesterday's N800-16.

tied on to the rear of 706 east of pleasant st, but before
seymour, 706 has a heavy tonnage setoff for lansing today.

D706 at Woodbury only one engine on the head end. Train was huge cannot believe there are no DPu s. Chasing now to make sure I did not miss them.

[Jetlink]

Got ahead of them (D706) at gates road and paced them. Waiting for the tail end now.
Going well below the normal track speed.
