L505 working Durand at 1230.
CN 2002, CN2300.

L514 just turned onto the Holly Sub at Durand.
GTW 4916 leading.

CN 502 was in Pontiac at 1700.
They have CN 2140, 2330, CN 4788, CN 9581.

5936 was not on either of the Pontiac locals that run south so it probably is not assigned to Pontiac (yet). It has been a while that 6223 and 4925 have been powering the two Holly Sub locals out of Pontiac south so I imagine we will see a replacement or two soon and maybe that will be one of them....

L501, with a pretty rare CN SD60 (5435) leading is working Flint. CN 2220 trails.
L505 is around somewhere, they have CN 3117 leading tonight.
L515 just started their work in Flint, they are using GTW5936 tonight.

That is train X348. They were right behind L502 into Pontiac but left after 502.
502 tonight had CN 5258, CN 2866 CN 2868.

Manistique, are you sure it's all SD70 power, my friend is at train tracks in Lansing right now and says a Citirail ES44AC was leading....

CREX1305 is on L542, not A451.
A451 today had 5776-5785.

edit to add:

CN 2270 Good to depart Pontiac southbound 7:12 PM

CN9581, not 9551

451 by East Lansing at 20:00

What looks like the early 391 by at 20:15

Dan Cluley, did you catch the locos on A451 and M391 at all?

A451 today had CN5671 CN2509.
M391 had CN8019 and CN2560.

Lake State crew starts at 10:00am and go to Flint. They turn depending how on how much traffic they have northbound and sometime after they head north.

Thats an empty potash train.

M348.
CN 3102 was M371.
L501 was thru Lapeer at 2000. They had CN2685, CN5739 tonight.

Caught what I suspect was 502 at Airport Rd. IC 2705 Leading had two more trailing units but was driving and missed getting numbers. This was at 7:50 PM. These particular IC locos confuse me. Were these IC Dash 9s ever in IC paint or in LMSX paint? No. They were ordered by IC and delivered to CN wi...

LSRC Z127 just got into Saginaw at 1030. NS 9243, CSXT 4528 +84 cars. How long does it typically take for the train to be transferred to CSX? Do they switch & send it south immediately? Depends on CSX. LSRC ran the train onto the main at Flint. From what I can remember, that usually means CSX has a...

NS 9243, CSXT 4528 +84 cars.

Lake State train Z127 arrived into Saginaw at 1710.
They had the LSRC 6302, 6301, and the 1166 for power.
Around 100 cars +/-.
They did have 2 CSX System coal cars about midway thru the train.

Why would they scrap something they don't even own? 469 has been privately owned for many years now, the owner has no where to put it, LSRC has stored it for the guy for a while now.

Relating to the C&NW -9s, I was informed that the 8646 was signed 5 more years to UP, while 8701 was donated for good? Was that original bogus or did the plans change?
