Eb manifest by 205 at 2345. It may be 502, last I was heard they were working battle creek yard. I missed the power which is amazing since I was standing right next to the tracks.

This may have been the train that they ran south out of Pontiac around 5:30 am before Amtrak.

271 is putting the entire train away at cory. Power lite to battle creek once they're done.
