I heard some horns about 10 minutes ago going through Linden. Must be 391.

116 going through East Lansing at 22:12. Looks like a pair of 56 or 5700s

[kc8bdr]

116 by the detector MP 34.2 southbound at 11:50 PM. CN 2510 leading. 12 to set off, and 12 to pick up at Pontiac.

[Manistique]

I heard a SB freight and NB Amtrak 355 pass each other behind my house at MP 22.5 at 2 am (an hour late for Amtrak). Must have been that 116 that Jim reported, though it meant it sat at Pontiac for a few hours. No other SB's by my house since 4 am this morning so that other one must still be sitting at Johnson Avenue.

At 10:25 am train 950 rolled SB with 3129 and at 10:30 train 950 followed SB with 4929, both sneaking out in front of Amtrak again. Kind dispatcher lately.

At 1:20 pm a long 451 rolled NB past MP 22.5 with 5781 and 2510.
