D70525 had 112 cars today, most in awhile. DPU working hard after the 33rd car. D708 heading east backed their train into the Howell pass to pick up last nights GLC 37 car set out. Took it to Brighton to run around it and will leave their 12 car GLC set out in the transfer on the way back to Lansing.

It appears so & probably wanted the SuperLiners for Amtrak's long distance trains.
