149 by 205 at 1010. Kinda short either because of the holiday or there will be another segment later.

They sent a local out of Pontiac to work the Holly and Mount Clemens subs this morning, passing MP 22.5 around 8:45 am. A blue 4900 series led it, maybe 4937? Not a holiday in Canada today, eh?

There is no GTW 4937!!!! The "4900" series GP38-2 locomotives only go up to "4934!!!!"

At 12:13 pm that 116 with the NS leading the UP is SB past MP 22.5 with mixed freight on the head end.

Wb manifest by 205 at 1225 with 308 axles bcol cowl and ex up leading, eb at 219 with 2 cn and 400 or so axles at the same time.

That second all-doublestacked train reported earlier is SB past MP 22.5 on the Holly. No DPU on it. Moterm's crew will be busy today, THE FOURTH OF JULY. Oh yeah, it isn't a holiday in Canada.

That holiday local just went NB past MP 22.5 on its way back to Pontiac at 1:04, passing that SB second doublestack probably in Birmingham. He had empty centerbeams so he worked the Mount Clemens' sub today. Missed the power so couldn't confirm that 4900 series number.

eb manifest by 205 at 1300. 2 cn pulling, first looked to be a cowl. Mostly auto racks.

The local had GTW 5847. GTW 4934 is the other yard engine in Pontiac.

116 has NS 9696 and UP 9626 (C44-9W)

Q190, CN 2871 and 3005 was the stacker.

Scanner chatter indicated that 116 was going to swap crews with 451 at Moterm. They were at Coolidge when 116 was leaving Pontiac.

Train 451 NB past MP 22.5 at 4:35 pm with a 2300 series CN leading two UP units. Going slowly. I wonder if there is speed restriction on welded rail because of the temperature today? Maybe just a long train and only the lead unit was running.

Eb manifest by 205 at 1645. 2 cn leading a up covered in graffiti

M385 by Mount Clemens depot at 19:10. CN 2130/CN, 75 cars.

A lite locomotive (49 whatever) drifted south past MP 22.5 on the Holly at 9 pm. Maybe a 513. Maybe to switch Moterm?

At 9:15 pm what I presume was 502 went SB past MP 22.5. NB Train 391 went by a couple hours earlier. A regular train schedule pretty much on the Holly today.

I caught 116 at Williams Lake Rd at 12:10 AM, CN 5484 leading. It sounds like no work at Pontiac tonight for 116. Just a quick stop for some paperwork then down to Moterm.
