I can hear something going through Pontiac Yard but can’t see it

AARR wrote:No activity in Pontiac Yard. 5930 is sitting on the engine service track. Mostly empty center beams in the yard. A few other miscellaneous cars. Looks like some chemical and plastic pellet cars on the local outbound track.

Around 9:30 am I heard a SB pass my house but didn't see it (was in the basement). This may have been local train 515 out of Pontiac, running ahead of Amtrak 353. The last few days it has had GT4900 as power. GT 5930 still is assigned to Pontiac as a local locomotive.

M383 was by Mount Clemens depot at 11:25. CN/CN/NS, 66 cars.

M382 by Mount Clemens depot at 13:05. CN/ex CSX/CN, 155 cars. All trains running on the south end of the MTC at restricted speed.

Train 371 with a CN leading a leased Citi blue locomotive NB past MP 22.5 at 1:20 pm. This is the same power that went SB on a train late last night (maybe 502) around 1 am.

Looks like it’s in Pontiac Yard. A lot of auto racks.

116 with a BNSF & UP pair by East Lansing at 02:19.

Last night around 1 am a NB went by that sounded like 5930 from the engine sound and horn so probably a returning 513. It was short.

Around 4 am a SB went by. My guess from the earlier post of 116 that it was 116 but didn't get up to see.

M383 was by Mount Clemens depot at 07:30. CN/CEFX and CN dpu pushing on rear.

M382 was by Mount Clemens depot at 09:35.
