NY-21 getting a signal at CP Bonita to reverse to the Terminal East.

NY-28 working GM Poletown.

NY-90 ran to Huber Yard to drop off gondolas and Hicubes.

3 cuts of empty autoracks are stored at Huber Yard likely for backup if NS doesnt bring in enough enpty autoracks on time.

NB by Beaubien with tankers, gondolas, covered hoppers and autoracks. Looks like a Livernois or North Yard Job transfering CSX cars to the Eastside.

One of the cars was a loaded DJSX? Hopper.

Setting out a box car at Detroit Freepress plant in Sterling Heights. NS GP38-2 5056 hi-nose. They might have spotted inside the plant.

Also, I just noticed a road was cut in at the Freepress spur lead entrance.
