I saw the narrow short hood and what looked like new black paint but was too busy ooogling the two UP units for some reason to notice it was an old SD40. Figured it was one of those ex-EMD Lease SD60's.

[Manistique]

Train 502 SB past MP 22.5 at 7:30 pm with a short train. A bit early. Usually it waits at Pontiac for Train 391 to arrive and they swap crews there then 502 heads south. Maybe crew swapping elsewhere today?

At 7:46 pm a lite 4929 drifting SB down the Hill past MP 22.5. A Train 513 tonight? Maybe doing work at Moterm tonight? A bit unusual.

514 departed Pontiac about 5:50 AM headed back north to Flint, has an EJ&E unit on it. I did not catch the number (guessing 661). They are working Draco (Here in Waterford) now.

Edit to add:

forgot to add GTW 4926 Leading.

Is this the spur south of Airport Road? And did you happen to catch if they're working anywhere else in Waterford?

This is over just south of Williams Lake Rd. and they are still there. I am going to try to catch them.
