Extra 148? By 205 at 1640. Cn leading a blue devil. First half was double stacks including 53' and second half was solid auto racks with a notable high number of articulated cars. 288 axles

edit: It may have also been an early 116. It looks like it may have been lined down the holly. Someone down there may be able to confirm that. Kind of a weird make up for that train.

Train 950 with GT 4632 is SB past MP 22.5 with one boxcar at 10:25 am, following Amtrak 353 down the Hill.

At 10:50 am, Train 451 with a single CN locomotive was NB past MP 22.5. Passing it in my backyard on the other Main track on its way south out of Pontiac was Train 515 with GT 4934.

Train 515 returned to Pontiac around 6 pm.

Train 391 was NB past MP 22.5 with two CN engines at 7:35 pm, at what seems to be its newer earlier time.

Late Morning Report:

Train 515 with 4934 followed Amtrak down the hill around 10:20 am with a long train.

Train 950 was unusually late out of Pontiac, passing MP 22.5 at 12:15 am with 4632 again.

Two lite locomotives, a CSX lease one and a CN GE, just went NB past MP 22.5 at 1:45 pm. Maybe 451 without a train? Or maybe an extra intermodal snuck by me when I was out this morning and the power was heading to the barn at Pontiac?
