Well by goly they changed it again today. D708 now runs out of Ensel, turning at Lake O. A yard job running east out of GR now handles what was Y106's work and D708's old work at Alto.Between GR and Plymouth for through trains all we have is X500, Q326, Q327 (both of which are usually under 5 cars), Q355, Q334 (which are usually around 70), an ocassional grain train, irregular coke trains, ocassional eastern coal for West Olive (with empties going back east), and the D708 and D709. In GR Marquette Rail's Z151 comes down the former CSX Ludington sub everynight into Wyoming to pick up/set out. There can be 5 hour traffic lulls up here. On a regular day, 5 trains will run. We did have the Essexville coal trains for a while, so N956 and E945 were regular up here. CN got the contract back for three months, so until July, no Essexville trains on CSX.West of GR is completely different. West Olive (consumer's power in Port Sheldon) is now recieving 3 coal trains a day, plus empties going west. Amtrak P371 and P370 run everyday, along with huge Q326's and Q327's (compared to east of GR!). Through in X500, the local D700 running west out of GR, Mid Michigan Railroad's Z627 that comes down to Waverly at night from Muskegon, the irregular eastern coal, coke, grain and stone, and west of GR, especially west of Holland, can be pretty busy.
