Wb manifest by 205 at 2047 with 4 units. I couldn't see what kind.

Train 116 went SB following Amtrak 351 past MP 22.5 on the Holly at 6:30 am with a UP locomotive leading.

At 7 am a unit sand trains went SB past MP 22.5 with three BNSF locomotives. First sand train I have seen in many months.

I was on Amtrak train 351 to Chicago to visit a rail fan friend of mine there last Friday morning when that Amtrak stop just north of Rapids Street to clear a NB CN local freight train (not sure of the freight train number) so Amtrak can use main track 2 to reach the first stop at Troy. Enter main track 1 at old 14F switch and crossover 2F and then enter main track 2,

The platform at Troy is on track 2. Track 1 has no boarding surface of any type at Troy.

A westbound with a CN, a NS, and H1 BNSF for power went through Durand at 12:33pm. After it an eastbound went through Durand at 12:38pm with a single CSX leader.

Northbound entering Pontiac city limits

515, CN 9473 going around the Sugarhouse returning to Pontiac. Lots of hicubes, an empty frame flat and steel coil.

The platform in Troy is on Main 1. Its very time consuming to ride the elevator twice, but they have free parking.

Guessing 371 stopped at the east end of cory with 3 orange bnsf at 1845

And now, at 7:05 pm, 515 is struggling up Birmingham Hill passing MP 22.5 trying to get to Pontiac and call it a day.

Yep thats 371.

502 is just getting ready to leave Durand - CN 8871 and CN 5476.

Train 391 NB passing MP 22.5 at 8 pm. Looks like it had two or three BNSF locomotives as power. Maybe off of that sand train this morning.

I have to concur about the Troy platform being on Main 1.
I found a more recent track diagram than I have in this thread:
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=18187

Not having any type of boarding platform on Main 2 was an interesting decision.
Guess they like elevators.
