Caught a short eastbound train crossing Griswold Road (last grade crossing west of PH yard) about 20 minutes ago, with what looked like a NS Dash 9 as the only locomotive. I was heading home from work on the freeway overpass, with no scanner, but figured I'd throw it out there in case anyone is in the area...

533, CN 2585, is okay from Beck to South Haven at 2211. Sounds like will be meeting a 385 at Haven? I also think 384 is somewhere north of Haven, but I'm not 100% sure on that. :? :?:

Train 950 has 4619 again today and is SB past MP 22.5 on the Holly at 8:57 am with three double stacks cars for some reason and nothing else. Probably a bad order left in Pontiac from 116?
