The CP potash train was CSX K831-05. I'm pretty sure that train goes to Bensenville IL.

E800 through St. Joseph around 5:05pm. WSBT 22 was doing a story about CSX repairing the eroding bluff, and the photojournalist on tv had the train going by her down below the bluff on Old Lakeshore Dr.

D70806 went engines light from Fowlerville to South Lyon to drop off two CN 5600 series SD70'Ms to Peaker Services. Where would these have come from? Caught me off guard as it is geeting quite foggy and dark here. Anybody see what the numbers were? Possibly 5610 & 5665, but that's just a guess.
