At around 1420 EDT, 256 had arrived at Oakwood Yard and was visible from the big Fort Street overpass. Power was a sole Dash 9-44CW in stripes with a long train of Triple Crown trailers.

At around 1416 EDT, a westbound CP manifest was stopped at Delray awaiting permission to head onto the Detroit District. Power was at least two CP widecabs and the only cars I could see were silver covered hoppers.
