A westbound windmill train is going through East Lansing at 20:16. One CN engine, no DPU.

On track 1, so probably stopping for a meet at Cedar.

Edit-
CN 8009 stopped at Cedar, waiting for Amtrak.

Around 7 am there was a SB past MP 22.5 on the Holly. I presume it was 116 but didn't see it.

At 9:35 am Train 950 went SB past MP 22.5 with 5847. They are doing work on Main 1 in Bloomfield Hills so it and Amtrak 351 had slow orders out back.

Yes that was 116.

They have been doing bridge work along the Holly. They had a work crew at Big Beaver Rd this morning.
