Late post but here's what I saw in New Haven today:
384 at 4:45 PM with CN 2539 and CN 2509
382 at 5:30 PM with CN 2006 and BCOL 4641
533 at 8:15 PM with CN 8012
Surprisingly, I didn't see 385 at all between 3:40 PM and 8:30 PM.

385 met 384 at Vinewood at 3pm yesterday both running a bit early.

ConrailDetr​oit, what was the "Power" from train 385 yesterday, 7-20? I happened to see part of it from work in Warren!

"UPDATE" 7-23-17: I guess it isn't "Known" what "Power" was on train 385 on Thursday, 7-20!!!!

384 is called earlier now at flat rock.

What appeared to be L502 was going through Gaines heading south at 7:10pm. IC 3117 (CN paint) and CN 2836.

Today, 7-23, I saw the "Green" for "Northbound" train 382 at "CP Beck" (Utica Road crossing, Fraser)! It had CN ES44AC #2811, CN C40-8 #2014, CN "ZEBRA COWL" C40-8M #2410, and a "Wide Nosed" GE (unsure of number─probably 26XX) with 174 cars! I "Like" these new "BRIGHT" signals! Train at 8:42 a.m. as I photographed from the "Bushes!!!!"

502 has GTW 5936 (original paint) trailing behind a CN today. Currently backing up to use the Wye to head south. It already connected to the rest of its train, but it brought out over 30 cars from the yard, so the power was still on the curve by the depot by the time it came up to the rest of its train. I'll post when it proceeds south.

119? by East Lansing about 23:10. They stopped at Cedar to meet 116 about 23:30, and a very late Amtrak 364 at 23:45.

Blue GTW 4619 moving SB at Clay Ave with short train at 13:09.

A southbound, that reportedly came from Flint, is going through Linden right now at 2:43pm with GTW 4626 (CN paint) and SD40-2 widecab 5291 leading, both LONG HOOD forward. Going a bit slower than normal so there should be plenty of time to head for the tracks if anyone wants to catch it.

385, CN 3075, is okay from South Haven to Nolan. Rule 529A at 21 mile rd, Fairchild, and Cass Ave. 515, GTW 4929 is working around Nolan.

CN #503 on Conrail @"YD"in River Rouge, MI waiting for the OBERSTAR to transit the Conrail bridge. Power is CN 2016 and a wide body, back to back. 1253 on July 25, 2017.

CN#503 with the CN 2016, 2430,n.b. On Conrail, os "YD" @1259.

Train 950 with 4619 SB past MP 22.5 at 9 am.

The work train with the gondola with ties and crane and the FL-1 was parked out on Main 2 at Opdyke Road in Bloomfield Hills last night. Other MofW equipment moved NB past MP 22.5 on the Holly at 8:45 this morning.

That work train that was sitting at Opdyke Road is on the move NB back to Pontiac at 9:12 am. Empty gondolas. The FL-1 is shoving the the crane operator is in the cab of the crane protecting the reverse move.

At 11 am, Train 515 with 4929 SB past MP 22.5 following Amtrak down the Hill.

At 1:15 Train 451 with IC 1015 and IC 1032 NB past MP 22.5.

At 1:40 pm returning Train 550 with 26 cars, mostly tanks, crawling up the Hill in Notch 8 returning to Pontiac.

513, GTW 4619 switching Pontiac Metal Center.

Train 451 with 2278 and 2601 NB past MP 22.5 at 12:14 pm.

I have not yet had the chance to see 513 work its way down the old Belt Line and down past Columbia Ave. Did you happen to get any pictures?

Yes. Willl post pics in the near future. 513 works the Pontiac Metal Center on Wednesdays sometime after 4pm. 513 is on duty at 4pm, Sunday thru Thursday. The other customers are switched as the cars show up but the metal center is set to be switched on Wednesdays. If they are not working the beltline then they are switching the yard.

CN had some track crew working around old PON Junction on the old Belt Line in Pontiac this morning.
