According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.

C&I 5115 is in this months trains magazine...I WONDER where its going...I know, I know, they will set it out at New Buffalo for a trip down the branch to Wellsboro...don't laugh now...we used to get BNSF cars for Ithaca via the Elmdale Interchange 30 years after it was abandoned north of Greenville. Heck 20 years after it was abandoned north of Elmdale!
Or maybe its going to Peakers?

D70004 went west by the Bangor cam with 4 gons, 2 of which had very high sides. Thinking going to Hartford for tires?
D801 releasing their EC1 in Holland, thinking MS is coming down from Muskegon behind them it appears.

Q32604 with CSXT 16 leading is east at Vine at 12:32 ET. 484 axles, 7725 feet at 91.9 DD.
Looked like 93 cars mixed and 37 wells (long count). Interesting to see a C&NW boxcar in the consist, along with two more CSS coil cars. Are those coils going to the JAIL via Lansing?

D700 had SD40-3 #4040 with the gons Z-man mentioned.

Noted two covered hoppers on the spur for Plastcore in Zeeland today - it's been quite some time since I've seen two cars at once there. 2 centerbeams at Zeeland Lumber. Vanden Bosch is empty at this time.

Detector announced 354 axles, 5193 feet
Audio isn't enabled BBCode on the site right now, so here's the link. Couldn't quite catch what he had permission to do other than "work limit".

Q38502 had NS unit 9165 as their trailing today. Should be past Lansing by now. For those who couldn't figure it out, Q385 had a 10mph speed limit on the west end of South Lyon as people were working on the switch there, and also had a walking speed limit over Ann Pere Diamond for MofW people working on that too. D708 had the same as they went to South Lyon today only to set a car off at Fortech
