501 at Sarnia, getting ready to head west. Has the light, waiting for someone to do a rollby.

396 is somewhere west of Port Huron, supposed to be here by 5:00. 501's crew will turn on 396 as 396's crew apparently isn't qualified to Sarnia.

No word on either train's power.

501 had CN 2633(f) and CN 5794(r). Most of the train looked to be empty autoracks. Sounds like the PH setout is mostly complete. The puller crew who brought 501 over will be returning to Sarnia on M396 shortly. Seems like everyone on the radio talking to 396 has been repeating this information.

CN dispatcher traffic reveals that CSX is running coal empties back to Flint this evening on the Flint sub...no time reported.
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...

515 south, GTW 4906 at Clay.

524 is running to East Yard with the CN 5632. 515 is instructed by the yardmaster to bring it to Moterm on the way back to Pontiac. Engine will be most likely be used on 532 later.
