I'll be listening & will reply back to your post.
Can someone fill me in on what this L306 is? I have found nothing in previous reports of it.
For those who don’t know, D705 is going to become L305 and D706 will become L306, nothing has been set in stone yet as to what D700’s new ID is going to be.
L301

That’s interesting. By that logic D700 would be L300 yes?

Something is currently passing through South Lyon. I'm guessing now with the letter prefix change that it is L302. I just got a scanner but I left it at my cousin's house.

"Sparrow24 could be described as a mediocre railfan, as he is generally disinterested in horn types and couldn't tell you one locomotive from another."

Effective today:

D708 = L305
D707 = L304
D706 = L303
D705 = L302
D700 = L301

D803 = R597
D802 = R598
D801 = R599

D900 = U301
D905 = U302
D906 = U303

Power is indeed a BNSF leader and a CP AC44.
This is my life. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

If this is a problem get used to it.
