What I presume was 251 went through Bloomfield Hills on Main 2 at 30 mph (I was pacing it on Kensington Road) at 11 am.

Went through Trenton around 8:30 with CN x3 including 5335

Looks to be cleared to head out of Pontiac

Train 116 just passed MP 22.5 SB on the Holly with an 8800 (or was it an 8900?) and an NS unit, stacks on the headend and racks on the rear. Going very slowly for some reason.

CN 8949 and NS 7297. A CN SD70M-2 and NS SD70ACU.

Shorter manifest eb by 205 at 1651 with cn/bnsf/cn

SB 514/508 past MP 22.5 on the Holly at 5 pm. All stacks today so let's call it a 514.

Looks like the power just went NB light from this train at 7 pm so I guess no 507 tonight out of Lang. Or was this another intermodal like Moterm used to get once a week, like the one from on from Prince Rupert?

This was L514. SB it was IC 2707/CN 5704 so NB was the reverse.

On weekends it’s a turn job so just L514 like good old times.

M-F the SB is L508 with L507 being the NB.

Earlier in the day, there was a Q116 with CN/NS for power.

Passing MP 22.5 on the Holly right now Ken at 4:03 pm. The last two locomotives were on 116 yesterday.

382 at Milwaukee Junction with CN 3058 and 3949

385 is at Mount Clemens. 382 is waiting for them at East Yard. 533 is out there working.

Per ATCS, what I assume is L508 is turning south at Durand at 17:30.

385 going by Woodward Avenue in Detroit with CN 8866 and 5650.

Short Eastbound Mixed Freight by East Lansing. 2 CNs.

OK, this is happening again! A BCOL "Dead Cowl" is on a train south to Flat Rock! Looks like it is on a train that will go to UP in Illinois! Someone mentioned on Facebook®! It will head west tomorrow! Man, I won't be able to catch it! Does anyone know where on UP these all are going? How long will they be stored before "Scrapping" takes place? Now I am planning a trip to Illinois/Iowa for early July! I'd like to know where I should be able to capture "Dead Cowls!!!!" Are some at Homewood?

This one you can see showing dead BCOL 4623 in Charlotte, MI, June 10 on E251!! He (LG Gibson) has the Youtube video of the full train (©Ng Fan): https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=deskt ... mTl126PsOU

Robert, the older GE engines are being scrapped at Chicago Heights Processing in Illinois. The scrapyard is serviced from the UP line.
