Solo CN 5419 departed Durand westbound with what I'm guessing is L505 or an extra 505 at 12:23pm after doing some yard work.

Busy morning on the Holly south of Pontiac. What sounded like maybe a 513 went NB past MP 22.5 at 5:30 am (sounded like a geep). Then at 5:45 am a SB freight went by. No Amtrak 351 yet so it is late leaving Pontiac this morning for some reason.

Update: Amtrak 351 went SB past MP 22.5 at 6:20 am, about 20 minutes late.

At 6:31, right behind Amtrak, a lite locomotive just drifted south past my house. Maybe that 9400 series GP40 that has been hanging around Pontiac lately? It had a wide nose and was running in reverse. Odd morning so far.

And the parade of trains on the South Holly continues as at 8 am an extra NB doublestack went past MP 22.5 with a BNSF leading two CN's and a short train.

Northbound to westbound intermodal train came off the Holly Sub in Durand at 9:07am. BNSF, CN, CN for power, and 105 wells, nearly all of which were double stacked.

Train 371 NB passing MP 22.5 on the Holly at 2:12 pm with a 5600 leading a 5700.

Right behind 371 was 9473 with a short train of mostly tanks and covered hoppers NB at 2:23 pm. This must have been the lite engine I saw this morning around 6:30. Maybe a 513 or 950 working Detroit?

A late report: Amtrak 353 had two locomotives elephant style on the headend today when it passed MP 22.5 this morning around 10:10 am.

Amtrak 350 passed MP 22.5 at 2:44 pm with two locomotives back to back on the head end and a baggage car on the rear.
