Have the scanner going here at the house and the dispatcher was talking to a northbound on the Holly, a "149"? they have a stop at Pontiac for paperwork before heading north.

Is something going on along the Flint sub? that would require a reroute of 149?

Well, I am off to catch this one.

I did catch this at Williams Lake Rd. at 1:23 AM CN 2693 solo.

While I fairly certain that I heard the dispatcher refer to this train as "149" to me it would be more likely be the train that was 119, (I don,t recall the new number (131?)).

Edit to add:

This cleared the detector MP 59.9 at 2:05 AM 7669 feet, 342 axles.
