Re: CN Updates March 2017
BCOL 4607 or 4617 (not sure which) cleared the detector MP 34.2 southbound at 11:55 PM. Likely 116.
Almost forgot they had 548 axels at the detector.

A 764 coal train went through East Lansing about 8:00. BNSF 9254 & 9257.
Looked like they were going to meet Amtrak at Okemos.

Re: CN Updates March 2017
Returning Train 950 working hard up the Hill past MP 22.5 with 23 cars, many loaded lumber flats, at 4:10 pm.
And right behind 950 is returning 515 with three cars passing MP 22.5 at 4:19 pm.
What I presume is Train 502 SB past MP 22.5 at 9:10 pm. Over and out.

Re: CN Updates March 2017
An eastbound that I assume is 116 is going through East Lansing at 21:22.
5609 solo, stacks on the head end, and a bunch of general freight behind, rather than the other way around like usual.

Have a set off of 9 cars, and pick up of 5 cars at Pontiac. Sounds like crew swap at Moterm tonight.
