That eastbound has GO 675 being sent to Toronto. Should be M398. New CN 3829, 3830, and 5362 are the rest of the engines.

502 has CN 2534 and CITX 6017.

451 has BCOL 4606, UP 8010 and GTW 5831 out of Flat Rock this morning. The 5831 was setout at Pontiac.

Train 950 with 4632 followed Amtrak 353 out of Pontiac this morning with the two locomotives that came off of 190 yesterday and a few freight cars in tow.

Train 515 followed 950 with 4934 and a long train.

At 11:58 Train 451 is NB past MP 22.5 and, oddly enough, it looks like it had the two 190 locomotives that 950 took down today. Either that or a different set of an ex CSX and CN locomotives on this train.

Saw all three trains within a few minutes of each other at Milwaukee Jct at about 11:30. R950 still had the locomotives you described, while A451 had a different CN and ex-CSX (which was leading). Maybe R950 will drop off those locomotives at Moterm on its return north?

Train 391 with a CN GE leading CITI 6017 in blue (looks like an ex-Soo Line SD60 or ex-EMD demonstrator) NB past MP 22.5 at 7:48 pm.

NB Intermodal by Royal Oak.

Short eb manifest by 205 at 0931. 2nd car is a transformer on an 8 axle flat car. Single cn pulling

What sounded like Train 950 was past MP 22.2 at 8:40 am this morning, a bit earlier than usual but back to what was its usual schedule beforehand.

Train 515 with 4934 again and a short train followed Amtrak 353 down the Hill past MP 22.5 at 10:16 am.

I have noticed this summer that Amtrak trains running both ways behind my house seem to never go the maximum speed limit anymore (60 mph) on the Holly but, instead, more like 45 mph. Even the late running trains arriving in Pontiac which would really fly by. Freight trains, if they can, seem to still hit the max speed limit sometimes. Anyone know if Amtrak has a speed restriction up here just south of Pontiac?

Train 950 with 4632 again returned to Pontiac around noon.

Train 451 with CN 5620 leading ex-CSX 7351 NB past MP 22.5 at 1:49 pm. Had the same combo of locomotive owners yesterday but in different order.

Wb by 205 at 1000. I missed the power but it's a unit oil train. Dpu on the back. Plackards are 1993

Update: 1993 is diesel fuel

Very short train with a single bnsf unit sitting on m1 at cory 1213
