251 by the Fort St cam at 9:15 CN x2

Passing MP 22.5 at 11:51 am moving very slowly, notch 2 or 3 for some reason. Maybe a slow order out back? Or a red signal ahead? Lots of sand hoppers, I presume empty. Some large hoppers (mostly DOW cars), autoracks front and rear. One boxcar with vents in the roof. A few tanks. Long train.

[Manistique]

NB 515 with 5447 and just a few cars just passed MP 22.5, again very slowly like 251, at 12:04 pm.

[Manistique]

Light power just drifted SB, a CN and ex-Citi. Maybe 116 today? Where has all the traffic gone on GTW? Containers are as low as autoracks now.

Tomorrow's 251 I'm sure.

CN 507 passing Fort St cam at 15:29. CN x2.

[GTW6401]

SB 513 with 9607 (IC?), what looked like a GP38, and two cars just followed Amtrak 355 down the Hill at 5:43 pm running backwards.

[Manistique]

507 rolling by MP 22.5 at 5:55 pm. No more speed restriction out back, he is going about 45 mph. Mostly autoracks for the mixed part. Why didn't they put those on 251 today, I wonder? Long train, plenty of containers today.

And right after 507 passed, 508 went by at 6 pm. Short train, mostly autoracks. Didn't seen any containers but they might have slipped past me as I was making dinner.

508 by Opdyke at 6:02 with NO intermodal.

NB 513 with that GP38 passed MP 22.5 around 7:30 pm with a couple of tanks. That should be it for tonight on the South Holly other than the last two EB Amtraks.

That GP38-2 is of IC descent by the way, was by opdyke at 7:30 on the dot but I was not able to report it.

251 by the Fort St cam at 9:22 CN x3

ex-citi in 3rd

[Manistique]

116 with a CN and a BNSF (rare for 116 which usually ranks all CN power) went past MP 22.5 around 11:40 am with a few autoracks and then some containers. Short train again but at least not just lite locomotives like yesterday.

[Redwing9]

CN 5625 ldr Q116 by Mil Jct 13:05, not much more than 10 autoracks.

[Manistique]

Two-track mainline action on the Holly this afternoon. At 1:40 NB 515 went past MP 22.2 on Main 2 and five minutes later 251 went by on Main 1. 251 was a long, slow train today, may have been stabbed by 515 crossing over in Pontiac as it seemed to be slowing down.
