116 cleared the detector MP 59.9 at 3:14 AM. 4651 feet long and 210 axles. Also, BNSF 7120 is what I heard as they made the turn southbound at Durand.

A quick edit to add:

I did not get the chance to catch 116 this morning, but I did hear the horn as they crossed Airport and Williams Lake roads area about 3:55 AM.

BNSF 7120 returning (LHF) to Detroit with 6 containers. Not sure where he found them as they were not in the Mount Clemens yard. A 533S rescue mission perhaps...
