Train 950 with 4619 returning to Pontiac at 1:10 pm past MP 22.5 with 18 cars including more autoracks, hy-cubes and one flat with truck frames. It must be picking up stuff at East Yard or the CR Interchange or Moterm now as these are new cars in its consist that usually consisted of just the cars from the industries it switched before this week.

At 3:06 pm another almost all autorack train SB past MP 22.5 with two GE's as power. Second one on the Holly today after not seeing one for awhile.

At 3:26 pm two lite GE's went flying down the Hill past MP 22.5. Maybe power for a 119 this evening?

2854 and 2864 were the numbers of the two lite locomotives above and at 6:20 pm they were pulling a very long 119 NB past MP 22.5.

Train 116 SB past MP 22.2 on the Holly at 8 am. A few mixed freight at the headend and some at the rear.

Did you ID the power? I swear I heard CN 2228 on the scanner, which is the saw power I saw on Conrail tracks in the East Yard yesterday morning and was spotted up in the Sterling Yard last night.

[detroitbench]

A very late 451 CN 5628 leading CN 2554 just made the turn from the Shoreline to the the Holly and is northbound at the Junction.

[Manistique]

I did not see the power on 116 this morning. Sorry.

I saw a CN locomotive on a long SB out of CR's North Yard this morning heading towards West Detroit. So there is one floating around on Conrail in Detroit for some reason. Didn't get the number but it was a GE.

Train 950 was at East Yard around noon today and had just finished the CR interchange and was headed back to the Holly.

Saw Train 515 switching the distribution center around 7 Mile Road in Detroit at 1 pm today.

Train 451/503 NB past MP 22.5 at 3:25 pm.

Train 515 with 4926 and 18 cars NB past MP 22.2 at 3:50 pm.

Lite 4926 drifted south past MP 22.5 on the Holly at 7:30 pm. Maybe Train 513 venturing south of Pontiac tonight?

A very short Train 391 passed MP 22.5 NB at 8 pm on Main 2.

Amtrak 353 passing MP 22.5 NB at 8:15 pm, a few minutes behind schedule.
