Busy night on the Mt. Clemens Sub tonight. 385, CN 5775, is near Milwaukee Jct. 533, CN 2159 & 384, CN 2154 have authorities from Beck to South Haven. They will be meeting an E271 at Haven who will be in the siding.

Q116 with the CN 2815 leading just went thru Gaines at 2351.
He met M322 at Bancroft around 2345. M323 had CN 2178, CN 2644, and 2979 all elephant style.

Are 322 and 323 new trains on the Flint Sub?

Well I watched the "bizarre" meet last night. 533 came through New Haven pretty quickly at 9:07 with 45 cars, but quickly slowed down on the approach to North Haven because E271 was still getting in the siding. 384 came at 9:36 with CN 2154 & CN 2609 with 127 cars, but was crawling through.

What was weird was that 533 was north of Haven by the time 384 came through. But 384 took a good 10-15 minutes to go through the Main St. crossing at New Haven, and 271 was well in the siding before 384 came by. My guess would be the dispatcher was taking a while to get 384 more track authority to Tappan. Then about 10 minutes after 384 cleared South Haven, (approx. 10 PM), 271 went south very slowly with CN 2521 and 84 autoracks. I felt like the situation could've been handled better, but oh well.

Maybe when the line is CTC end to end these meets will go more quickly!

Train 515? with blue 4926 at Milwaukee Junction around the Sugarhouse.

M385 passed through Wyandotte at 8:28 PM with IC 2459, one of the blue CN-logoed units.

I saw this train from a distance; that is IC C40-8W #2459 with IC "Sublettering!" There are only eight of these locos left in "Blue!!!!"

950 went south through Royal Oak at 9:48 AM with GTW 4626 and 2 boxcars.

515 went south through Royal Oak at 10:35 AM with GTW 4926.

L 503 - NB O/S Delray@ 11:10am. W/KCS 4686 & CN 8926 w/ a circle logo on the cab that I have never seen before. Circle, feathers, stack of rocks (?) & infinity symbol. Neat.

Went through Royal Oak at 12:15 PM with a short train.

CN M384 at Woodward. IC 2704 leading

A short 391 through East Lansing at 00:22

A westbound BNSF coal empties through East Lansing at 00:34

503 CN 2823 leading CN 5421 is making the turn north onto the Holly from the Shoreline.

2822 solo with a westbound rack train (possibly 371?) by East Lansing at 19:20

M384 and M385 meeting at Milwaukee Junction.

M384 will be radio blocking behind another NB train on the Clem once past CP Beck.

Now a late L533 has arrived at the Junction to spin their power and go north on the Holly Sub with just one car. So now I have no idea what train 384 is following. A real late 382? An extra? I think it came from up the Shoreline Sub.
