Last night around 10:30 pm Train 502 was SB past MP 22.5 on the Holly.

At 2 am I heard a SB passing my house. Maybe that 116 that was reported earlier out Charlotte way?

At 6:52 am Amtrak 354 went NB past MP 22.5, six hours late. Something happened on its trip from Chicago. One of the rare times that the morning's 351 left Pontiac before the last train from the day before arrived. They must have passed each other on the Holly somewhere.

Does anyone know about "PTC Trains" that are in Battle Creek now? From the Facebook® post: "CN 116 by MP 65 has a WC and IC caboose along with a blue CN test car right behind the power. Flying by track speed." One guy commented "PTC test equipment. Was supposed to come in yesterday to BC. Going to Port Huron for a test run or something this week."

Now, does anyone think they will come down the Mt. Clemens Sub? I would guess so! It sounds like it will be two trains! There are CN SD70I #5605 and
CN “Zebra Cowl” C40-8M #2413 with "Test" cars! I really want to photograph this!!!!
