Looks like an eastbound CN manifest stopped at Cory yard. Possibly picking up a string of autoracks?

A double stack with one locomotive SB past MP 22.5 at 2:06 pm. Late 116 or an extra?

Saw the late local at Greendale St. Pulled on to fence track to make room for the intermodal. Local was identifying itself as L515, CN/GTW 4904.

Intermodal I heard on scanner and good sources have confirmed to be a Q136 which was a new symbol for me. 2237 leading, 8885 pushing from behind.

That's probably the one I referred to as 118 earlier today near Lansing. 118/119 are the only ones I've seen arranged in such a way and I did see 119 at night about a week ago. Maybe 136 is some of that new business that's supposed to be coming?

BNSF 9185
BNSF 5815.
Saw these engines with a short manifest freight from the Wendy's in Lapeer, then again at West Tappan just before 4:15pm. I'm pretty sure it had a different symbol when we saw it, but no one in the car had a "real" camera or a scanner (who takes those when going to a train show??) to catch a number.

For what it's worth:
1 boxcar
1 tankcar
1 boxcar
1 covered hopper
1 short tank car (Corn Products International logo)
5 autoracks
7 empty frame flats

Just came through downtown Holly. There's a high green for SB/EB. Didn't have time to wait and see.
