I heard the RN talking about this but couldn't hear where or who hit the car.

SW wrote:SB autorack train cleared Plymouth diamond at 17:35. Not sure where it came from; perhaps North Yard - it did not come off the Detroit Sub. First saw as I looked west from Station 885. Tried to catch it at Lilley on my bike but failed. Two CSX units and 19 autoracks. No scanner with me. Hadn't seen it on ATCS either, if it came from Flint.
It might have been the autoracks that were stored up in Flint between Bristol Rd. and Maple Ave.

P370-23 is currently going through Riverside. Sounds like AMTK 98 leading.
E800-23 is currently going through St. Joseph. Sounds like BNSF 5844 leading.
