EB Q516 clearing Eckles. CSX 8033 leading.
Earlier, around 18:30, what sounded like D736 cleared 7 Mile Rd. Too faint to be sure.

Over on Trainorders.com there is talk of a large transformer moving on CSXT from Mexico to Crounna, Ont. Train is a W988-14 with UP 4489 as power. Train is in Avon Yard. Will come up from Toledo to Flint than to CN for transport to Ontario. Still not out of Avon yet.
Keep your eyes open. Maybe tomorrow it will hit Michigan.

If this is a light engine power move, probably some of the EIGHT units that came into GRP on Q38515 overnight.
