02:45 - G077-30 west thru EE Brighton with solo unit 52 leading 94 cars (382 axles). Thanks pudgy for the heads up.
Regarding the MoW consist on L302 yesterday, I now see where your count of 114 comes from. I guess it makes sense that the flat car pair would be counted as one unit.
G076-02 (loaded grain train) between 03:15/03:45 was departing Grand Ledge heading eastward with CSX engines #5203 + #52 leading. Last night's L302 had set off the #5203 in Lansing.

L301-05 @ 10:21 westward reported by the Defect Detector mp CG19.1 Zeeland, Mi with ?? axles. CSX engines #4057 + #8801 & ?? cars. He’s headed into Waverly mp CG22.8 & later he’ll head west for work at Hartford mp CG68.7 & Sawyer mp CG105.2 The axle report was stepped on by another radio call.
