What appears to be 502 is going around the Chicago Wye in Durand heading south down the Holly Sub with two BNSF's and a good sized train at 6:45pm. Between 6:35pm and 6:40pm 451 went north and west in Durand with a BNSF, NS, and CN. I missed the numbers on all.

And at 8:16 pm what looks like another local 513 drift south past MP 22.5 with what looked like 4925 running lite.

There were two NB manifest freights on the Holly last night. One, which I thought was 391, went past MP 22.5 at around 7:30 pm. Then around 9 pm there was another one. Maybe a reroute? It wasn't a 119.

Another lite locomotive worked south of Pontiac last night. 4925 was SB past MP 22.5 around 9 am and just returned NB to Pontiac at 7 am, lite. Maybe 513? Maybe just going to switch Moterm?

There was a 119 last night. Saw engines wye at Milwaukee Jct on ATCS then enter Moterm Yard. Later the whole train went around the Chicago Wye on Durand camera. 2 CN engines leading. Someone else called it an X149. I don't know the correct symbol.

SB past MP 22.5 on the Holly at 2:30 pm led by an old, faded cowl unit and two other CN locomotives. Train was 90% covered hoppers of different sizes, which is odd on the Holly. Odd time for a manifest freight here. Reroute? Early 502? Going about 60 mph down the Hill.

That 116 Jim reported at Durand at noon just went SB past MP 22.5 on the Holly at 3:19 pm with the former CSX unit trailing.

A late and fast 451 just is passing NB past MP 22.5 at 5:23 pm with two BNSF units as power.

Two light locomotives drifted downhill past MP 22.5 around 8:30 pm on the Holly. Must be a 119 called out of Moterm tonight and this is the power.
