N803 ran to LSRC at Wixom earlier with BNSF 9082 and 9104.

NS 1067 (Reading Unit) came up on 120 this morning to Oakwood. It’s been reported to be going on 255 except I don’t known when that’ll depart.

255 departs from Oakwood very late at night. Usually 2-3am.

Eb manifest by 205 at 0004 with 1 cn in the lead and one in the middle. Dispatcher is giving out a 529A for mp215.41. Does anyone know where I could find the text of what a 529a or b? I have an idea but I'd like to see what it means officially. 529a is a crossing activation failure. 529b is a false...

573, CN Painted 6223 is at South Yard with 5 Lumber Loads.

Please use the correct reporting marks. CN painted could mean GTW, IC, WC, BCOL, BLE, or EJE.

Its GTW 6223, formerly DTI 223. EMD GP38-2.

The stretch between St. Clair and Marine City was taken OOS in Spring 1987 after Detroit Gasket closed.

Former NYC from Detroit to Bay City prior to 1970. I'm not old enough to see its glory days.

Opened in 2004. They had been printing eight different Michigan newspapers.

Toledo Blade stopped in house printing back in 2014. Detroit Media Partnership won the bid then.

Trucking newspapers around is common now. Advance newspapers previously moved all Michigan printing to Walker. Now they are closing the Walker press and moving that work to Cleveland, Ohio.

The WAMX 3879 was parked along Front Street at Mondelēz today. Its usually been NS geeps there before.

CN put in new signals along the Shoreline also... Might as well put that on the list too. My point was that upgrading infrastructure doesn't mean they will sell it. Technically part of the Holly is already gone south of Milwaukee Junction. I also heard that they were looking to spinoff the Holly in ...

The Mt. Clemens Subdivision shouldn't go anywhere. CN just installed a brand new signal system.

Why would they run via Durand? Its about 50 miles from Port Huron to Detroit.

Port Huron to Durand is 85 miles plus another 65 to Detroit.

116 arrived at Moterm just after 9pm. CN 3909 and 5735.

Current layups, with more to come. This is the list... Algoma Central Algoma Compass - Owen Sound Algoma Discovery - Montreal Algoma Spirit - Sarnia American Steamship American Century - Toledo American Spirit - Toledo American Integrity -Upcoming. H Lee White - Sturgeon Bay John J Boland - Sturgeon...

Similar train ran back in December. That was three GE Prolec Transformers to DTE in St. Clair County.

Freeland Bean and Grain seems to only receive one car per spot.

Auburn seems way less busy after Standish opened too.

I did see a boxcar on that spur a couple times this year. Bond Plywood rarely gets much anymore.

CN 2223 is X397. They are having a brake problem with a car.

450, IC 2721 is getting over to Durand. 46 cars to setout, picking up 13.
