There is no "BCOL 4811!" It must be "COWL" C40-8M #4611!!!!detroitbench wrote:BCOL 4811 is northbound approaching Forest Lawn on the east track.

Re: CN - May 2017
That late 116 that Jim reported in Pontiac a couple hours ago just went SB past MP 22.5 at 7:10 am. The single unit, medium-length train, about half mixed freight on the head end.
I saw 950 SB past the Amtrak Station in Pontiac with 4901 at 8:05 am this morning.
Train 515 with 4929 SB past MP 22.5 at 11 am.
Train 950 returning to Pontiac past MP 22.5 at 1:31 pm.
Train 451 NB past MP 22.5 at 4:05 pm with 2035 and 5757.
And 515 is returning to Pontiac at 4:57 pm.

Re: CN - May 2017
502 is good to depart Pontiac southbound at 11:12 PM
CN 2419 leading, Sounded like CN 8895 trailing.
391 is ready to depart Pontiac at 11:10 PM, but is holding at Scott Lake Rd. for 116 (Reported at Shaftsburg) 391 and 116 are both too long for the siding at Holly.
CN ???? leading (Will pick it up, and correct it here, when they head north)
BCOL 4609

Train 451 NB past MP 22.5 at 4:00 pm. 2104 was the lead with a 5700 following.
Returning Train 515 with 4929 NB past MP 22.5 at 4:30 pm.
At 5:03 pm a SB train led by another narrow nose 2100 series GE and two other widenose GE's (maybe all three are 2100's) is flying SB past MP 22.5. A lot of autoracks so maybe a 280?

CN 2016 cleared the detector MP 34.2 southbound at 9:43 PM, 308 axels.
All I can think is this is 116.

Re: CN - May 2017
Train 451 with 2120 (another narrow nose GE leading) and 2241 passing MP 22.5 Holly at 12:55 pm.
At 5:30 pm I was stopped at Opdyke Road crossing MP 22.2 on the Holly by a WB. Didn't see the front end but the rear was all empty doublestack well cars so I am guessing it was a extra 119 Doublestack?
Train 391 flying by MP 22..5 at speed with two units (second one a narrow nose GE) and mostly sand hoppers at 8:34 pm.

Re: CN - May 2017
Around 8:30/9:00 PM, I heard a northbound clear the detector MP 34.2. I was on the phone at the time and did not make my notes. It was around 430 axels, and want to say IC 2712 leading.
Ok I do have a second northbound, dispatcher gave them the good to head north at 10:05 PM. CN 2624 leading.
Cleared the detector MP 34.2 at 10:31 PM, 300 axels.
My best guess is the first was the possible 119 that Manistique reported at 5:30 PM the second being possibly 391.
