[Mivers1988]

Picked up 2 coil empties from Sawyer

[SD80MAC]

Very late Y106 west at Seymour in GR 17:55.

[amessmann]

18:11 - L303-24 east thru WE Brighton with 7017 and 433 leading. I counted 58 cars.
The eastbound signals are now in working order.
Green Oak reports 246 axles which works out to 58.5 cars. Likely a +2 error.

Eastbound by Trowbridge at 1700, westbound by Trowbridge at 1709

I live on the Grand Rapids subdivision so I have no clue what trains you are posting about. So I have to ask what trains are you posting about?

In terms of CSX trains:
EB at Trowbridge would be L303
WB at Torwbridge would be L302

That would be L303 meeting L305 which is the local out of Lansing. I try to post when they make it to Brighton but they usually turn in Howell.
