Amtrak 355 had the 90219 leading and 36 trailing. This is the first time I can remember 350/355 having a cabbage on it.

391 was by Royal Oak at 6pm, with no work at Moterm. CN 2600, 2450, 5729, and 5716.

There is a SB coming thru Royal Oak right now. I am thinking maybe it is 280.

391 has IC 1021 leading. No work at Moterm. Will probably pass Amtrak 355 around Birmingham.

Second unit was a 2500 series CN from what i heard on the scanner

by **GTW6401** on Mon Jul 26, 2010 9:56 pm

Should have been 502. I heard 502 was up at Chrysler just after 1pm.

IC 2727 and CN 2628 were southbound by Wyandotte at 12:30pm, with a 2 car train.

by **GTW6401** on Mon Jul 26, 2010 10:04 pm

383 is at Haven - CN 5606 leading. They are waiting for 384 to get by, then will get an after order for 382.

That would be CN 145, which operates into Oakwood Yard. 144 is its northbound counterpart.

I caught a north bound on the Holly at Gaines. 2 CN & 2 BNSF. All auto racks could this have been the new train 251? This was ab out 2:45PM. I understand it headed west at Durand.
