Anything on D705-25?

Anything on D705-25?

I haven't heard anything at all for D705-25. He will most likely have CSXT engine #738 leading (that engine has a terrible radio) + the CSXT #3211 probably as a DPU.

Thanks Tom. I have realized when that locomotive leads the scanner picks up mostly static.

@4:31 D705-21 calling clear EE South Lyon. Unfortunately I missed him through south Lyon but I’m going to chase it to Brighton/Howell

@4:33 calling clear WE South Lyon. The transmissions have been very clear today. I’m wondering if they fixed 738’s radio.

@4:39 the DD at CH39.1 went off. Couldn’t make out what it was saying due to being to far away from it.

@4:43 calling approach to Brighton

Eastbound D708 Just cleared WE Howell. CSXT 4037 + 4287. Short mixed freight

@5:12 they got permission into the siding at Ann Pere. They are exchanging cars with GLC.
