Wb mixed freight at mill. 4 units including blue bc unit 1217

Train 451 NB past MP 22.5 at 2:12 pm with two CN's leading a BNSF and a long train.

Amtrak 350 had two locomotives back to back leading and three extra Amtrak business cars on the tail end passing MP 22.5 at 2:55 pm. Often they wye these trains with business equipment instead of running the power around which often causes delays in 355's departure later in the afternoon.

Well, I was wrong again. They just ran the two Amtrak locomotives around the train and departed Pontiac on time as 355 with the three business cars on the head end this time. Just passed MP 22.5 at 5:43 pm.

Train 391 NB passing MP 22.5 right behind Amtrak 352 at 8:36 pm with BNSF 6514 CITX 1511(?) and CN 8818. Lots of empty sand cars: most of the train. Including a GMAX ex Boston & Maine covered hopper.

116 by 205 at 2042. Bcol 4644 pulling alone tonight.

Southbound cleared the detector MP 59.9 at 10:29 PM, 5087 feet long, 234 axles. A wild guess that this will be 116.

Edit to add:
I caught 116 at Airport Rd at 11:38 PM BCOL 4644?

I wound up missing 391 tonight they met 116 at Holly. 391 was 6195 feet, with 518 axles at the detector MP 59.9.
391 cleared 59.9 at 11:36 PM.

A SB freight train followed Amtrak out of Pontiac this morning, passing MP 22.5 at 6:15 am. Single CN locomotive and mostly autoracks. I would call it a Train 280.

Train 950 SB out of Pontiac past MP 22.5 at 9:24 am with 5847 and a short train.

What I could only assume is Q190 East by Campus with CN 3057 at point

Sounds like CN L504 left BC not too long ago CN 3007 on point. Not quite sure where they are haven't made it to Charlotte yet

950, GTW 5847 by Ford Jct. 2 Boxcars, 6 tanks.

Train 451 with a single CN locomotive and a long train rolling past MP 22.5 on the Holly towards Pontiac at 1:39 pm.

515, CN Painted 9571 by Royal Oak. 2 Covered Hoppers. 1 Tank. 3 Boxcars.
