EDIT: This is really for 10/15/08. Autofill grabbed the last subject line I'd posted and I didn't notice until too late.

------------------------

8:30am - there seem to be two trains running nose to nether up the Holly sub and turning west onto the Flint sub at Durand. One of them is almost certainly E251. The second of them just hit the DD at 59.9 and was reported at 122 axles.

There's an impending meet at Lapeer, with the eastbound train lined into the siding for the westbound.

E251 departed Pontiac at ~7:45, IC 2717 was the lone power. I'm guessing that's the first train, as I didn't see anything moving NB before they left (unless something snuck by me)

There was a coal drag lined up in the siding on the west side of the yard, but I think that axle count would be a lot higher.
