CN hit a car that got stuck on the tracks at Waverly Rd in Lansing this morning around 6:00. Nobody was injured. No delays to Amtrak 365 either. I'm wondering if the very dense fog factored into this. When I was driving home at 2 this morning you couldn't see 50 feet in front of you. They did say too that it was an elderly driver.

I'm not sure if this is the same car or not. But 391 last night got a heads up about car stuck on tracks up around mp 53? if remember correctly.

Train 451 past MP 22.5 on the Holly at 12:35 pm NB.

Power on 451 were two very ordinary looking modern locomotives: a GE and an EMD/CAT but didn't get their numbers.

Should be a GEVO and an M-2, but I didn't see it in person so I can't say for sure.

Train 950 with GTW 6225 leading is good to south from Pontiac with 10 cars 9:44 AM.

First stop is Royal Oak Recycling, believe they are headed to east yard after that.

Train 451 rolling NB past MP 22.5 Holly with three big GE's and GP9r 4610 trailing. Didn't know such a low number GP9r was still on the roster.
