Looks like an extra Train 119 flying NB past MP 22.5 at 8:24 pm with doublestacks on the head end and a long string of empty well cars at the tail end: a typical 119: moving empties west mostly. Power was 2633 and 2169.

A rare sight in the CN Battle Creek yard, Kansas City Southern power! KCS 4844 tied down near the yard tower/fuel dock.

Blue GTW 4934 busy in the yard.

Last night I heard two SB's past MP 22.5 before midnight. I presume 116 and 502?

Amtrak 354 was pretty late arriving at Pontiac last night: went by MP 22.5 at 3:45 am instead of the usual 1 am or so.

A very early combined 950/515 went SB past MP 22.5 at 6:30 am this morning. Or maybe it was a late weekend 513? It had 4916. Might have had to turn the late Amtrak power at a later time?
