What is most likely 451 is going through Linden right now at 4:46pm I can only hear though, so not sure if it's the same power reported earlier.

Thanks! About 10-15 minutes ago, I heard another horn that I think was southbound. Maybe another 280 coming south?

Not sure. If it was on the Mount Clemens Sub it could be going up the Holly Sub.
OK, sorry I couldn't "Reply" earlier, I was at work and "Stuff!!!!" Yes, it was on the Mt. Clemens Sub. Does anyone know where this train will go tomorrow, 4-4? :?:
I am "Guessing" they will travel up the Holly Sub. and then head west at Durand! There should be guys from Lansing that could get it if that happens!!!!!!!!

It sounds like 382 is in the picture somewhere, CN 2315. :? :?: Does the Mt. Clemens Sub have track authorities anymore? I heard a while back that it was going to become a CTC line, but I'm not sure where that project is at.

At 15:00, 382 is okay on the east track from Milwaukee Jct to Nolan.
