[As of 23:12 it sounds like L302 has finally made contact with somebody. 3025 leading.

That would be 3035 leading with 4057 trailing, elephant style. They ran through the siding in Howell at 22:15 which was no problem with only 46 cars. Question is, what took them so long to get to Howell? Crew was told to bypass their Lansing work.

L302 was waiting for inbound power at Rougemere. Then they had to spin the power before leaving. on duty 1400, but didn't make a move into Delray until 1830. Then got held up by yard switcher before building their train at 1930.

Can confirm the power, chased them from fox to downtown Grand Rapids after work (going through the wye on the main at 1:39). I fell asleep while updating on here haha. Weird last night the last thing picked up by the L302 crew (besides the DD) was clearing Lake O.
