Two lite locomotives just drifted SB past MP 22.5. Must be an extra container train out of Moterm tonight.

CN 2116 and GT GP9 4619 (both narrow nosed and elephant style) NB past MP 22.5 at 8 pm with Train 391.

Train 513 (I presume) with 6223 is NB past MP 22.5 at 8:23 pm.

Double green signal at Raven for two northbounds. Will update once they pass!

Amtrak 352 through Royal Oak at 20:29 with engine 57. This is a non-ITCS engine. All of the ITCS Engines must be dying or they are adding ITCS a to new engines

M391 North flying through Royal Oak with almost entirely 2 bay hoppers at 20:37 with a CN Dash 9, CN SD75I, BNSF SD70ACe and UP SD70ACe

A BCOL C40-8M in BCOL paint and a CN Gevo lite through Royal Oak southbound at 21:20 to pick up an intermodal train at Moterm

I caught 391 at Williams Lake Rd. at about 11:25 PM still had a fair number of 2 bay hoppers on the tail end.

CN 5774
BNSF

I was not quick enough to get numbers on the last three.

as I was typing this up a second northbound cleared the detector MP 34.2 at 11:58 PM, 440 axles. I am guessing this to be that intermodal Bnsfben referred to above.

The power on 515 today was blue 4912 and it was flying past MP 22.5 on its way back to Pontiac like a horse headed back to the barn at 5:36 with a rather long train of mostly empty centerbeams.
