And, to follow up on Jim's report above, 116 is rolling SB by MP 22.5 at 3:42 am. Fair amount of mixed stuff, including autoracks, on the head end. What am I doing up during Jim's shift?

Rerouted? Unsure on power but currently there's a long line of mixed freight north on the Clem passing thru North Yard.

451 should have the power from 116 last night, 2418 and 2409. If those weren't on there then it's probably not 451.
Edit: I believe the train seen by ConrailDetroit may have been 384.

The 2 barns were set off. SD70ACeFan is wrong.
Out of Pontiac A451 had BCOL 4648 and CN 2664.

CN 2418 leading and unknown second engine headed northbound passed the detector MP 34.2 at 7:35 PM 12 axels. From the limited chatter I heard, it is my guess that theses two engines are picking up coal empties (Train 765) at Durand.
