That train was destined for Flint. It was killed in BC and L500 woll take those racks.

EB M356 with CN 8024/CN 5702 was the train working Cory. They picked up some loads to take to Flat Rock. Presumably those will go onto L506 to Toledo.

20:28 - NB L507 takes the High Wye in Durand and heads EB to Flint

Per friend watching ATCS, Q116 has come to a stop or idle in Gaines since 11:14. Not sure how long they've been there

Lined to proceed at 11:42

SB 515 passed MP22.5 around 11 am, a bit later than usual this morning.

116 just passed MP 22.5 at 12:43 pm

Passed MP 22.5 around 1:45 pm.

Amtrak 350 coming in late to Royal Ok at 2:55

U714 east appeared on mp205 Charlotte cam at 15:05. CN trio #3910 + #3158 + #2517. 80 loaded ethanol tanks between 2 sand-filled hoppers

M382 through Common Rd. @ 15:26. CB 3268, 2846, & 2914 with 140 cars.

Around 15:20-15:25ish, dispatch informed of a system-wide issue with PTC, forcing all trains to go a restricted speed.

E251 for example had cleared the Chicago Wye completely onto the Flint sub around 15:13, and as of 15:32, they've still yet to make it to single track Bancroft, roughly 4.6mi from that wye.

At 15:37, PTC system came back. U714 (at cpCedar mp221.5) + E251 (at cpBancroft mp248.7) will meet by Okemos with E251 taking M1 there, and an EB with #3262 + #3321 trailing U714 got lineage at mp208 cpPville.

16:08 - EB U714 has proceeded and is across Trowbridge now. They are on M2 and will meet E251 which will take M1 at Okemos.

E251 wb clear to limited at Trowbridge on M1, met EB manifest with 2 CN leaders @ 16:50.

700+ axle manifest east at Trowbridge 17:38.

507 went flying past MP 22.5 at 7:10 pm or so.

M384 through Common Rd. @ 22:27. CN 8878, 8836, 5702, & 8024 with 96 cars.

508 went past MP 22.5 around 8 pm. There was a 513 out of Pontiac that went NB past MP 22.5 around 11:30 pm, full speed ahead the GP38 just chanting up the Hill. Amtrak 354 went by at 3:40 am, 3 hours 40 minutes late for some reason.
