That was 451. I'm assuming 4619 was left in the yard then?

Correct, 4619 was not in the consist.

199 north at Johnson Ave

Is Johnson Ave in Detroit? Also, is this a new train? Haven't heard of 199 before.

[CR900945]

Johnson Avenue is in Pontiac. It's the last grade crossing in Pontiac before the yard.

In addition to it being a crossing, it's also the control point on the southern end of Pontiac yard.

391 turned into X199 after lifting the WB intermodals at Moterm

I saw a Union Pacific passenger train flying SB through Pontiac at 12:40 pm today. Two UP locomotives and ten UP passenger cars including one dome and the rear being a glassed observation car with people in it. Got me as to what it is.
