What looked like an early 251 with three locomotives and a short train just went past MP 22.5 at 8:54 am. He may be stabbed by departing Amtrak 353 leaving Pontiac about now.

9:09 am edit: Wrong. They held Amtrak at Pontiac for 251's passing. Now 353 is running about 15 minutes late out of the chute.

10:34 - E251 with CN 8863/CN 2996/CN 3877/CN 3271 takes the Chicago Wye in Durand.

10:42 - W968 with CN 5772 solo and the CWR train takes the Chicago Wye and heads south on the Holly Subdivision to lay some rail at your mom's house.

NB 515 flying by MP 22.5 with 15 empty centerbeams and 1 gondola at 3:31 pm.

515 northbound by Opdyke with 5466 leading LHF, all centerbeams plus a scrap gon probably from DCON.

CN 8862 ldr short autoracks nb past YD 15:40

CN L507 working Moterm as of 16:38. Seems to be SD70M-2 leader.

M397 in Ontario has CN 3340/UP 8697/GEXR 3393. GEXR 3393 is for the HESR. Should be in Port Huron after midnight. Unknown if GEXR 3393 will be set off in Flint or BC.

The 3393 did not get set off in Flint. Here is is passing Mount Hope in Lansing just after 8:00 AM

lol they took it all the way to Kirk - i saw it on the Griffith cam earlier. Amazing job by CN!

This engine ended up coming back on M394 the next day. It was pulled in Flint and R944 took it to Durand.

15:00 - WB M399 with CN 5776/CN 8819/BNSF 7248 thru Durand on M2

16:36 - EB A492 with CN 3864/CN 2989 thru Durand on M1

CN 8819/BNSF 7248 were power from Z148 two nights ago.

507 went past MP 22.5 around 6:15 pm.

251 by the Fort St cam at 9:41 CN x3

The Rail train O499 came by Royal Oak at 10:30. Q116 followed right behind it at 10:37

E251 passing Royal Oak at 11:34

251 past MP 22.5 at 12:00 pm with three locomotives, all working, lots of tanks and empty sand cars. Just a few auto racks at the end.

Late report from last night on the South Holly:

There was a 513 with 9607. It went south with one tank around 7:30 pm, came back around 8:15 pm.

507 and 508 passed each other locomotive to locomotive in my backyard at 8 pm last night. Only one of a handful of times over the last 34 years that that has happened so precisely out back.

SB 515 with 5466 passing MP 22.5 at 8:13 am with 22 cars, four tanks up front, four boxcars at the rear and the rest loaded centerbeams.

Q116 has the GT heritage unit leading today. Unsure on whereabouts as of this time.
