It looks like the right side of the unit has a clean spot along the walkway where it used to but I saw it from my camera so i couldnt see the fine details.

1625 another eb. Maybe a late 502? Has several loads of telephone poles and some truck frames at the end. Lead unit sounds like she's barely running.

That one should be in Sarnia by now, unless they had to stop in Port Huron first. They met a westbound at Lapeer, which had IC 1029 as the third (of three) unit, and several new cars from Hamilton.
