I caught 116 at Williams Lake Rd at 1:10 AM. All autoracks in front of the intermodal. Was beginning to think it was a 280.

I heard the horn of the train while I was at home this morning. I lives in Waterford also. MP. 32 is between Frembes and William Lake roads.

I caught 391 at Airport Rd. at 10:06 PM

There was a third unit (bright orange) that I just did not catch road name or number off of it. My first thought was Huron and Eastern engine, but more likely EJ&E. My guess is they picked up the third engine at Pontiac.

391 has HESR 3044, which was picked up in Durand by 502. They placed it onto 391 at Pontiac.

I thought I spotted a HE?? on the side of the cab but figured I was misreading it. Thank you for posting this.

There's either an M271 or M371 getting ready to head down the Mt. Clemens Sub. They just received a permission to depart on signal indication (I think).

Also, if CSX runs across the Flint Sub today, the outbound train for Flint is quite massive. Most of it is the black LPG tank cars, but there appears to be several covered hoppers at the head end of the train and at least one boxcar, possibly followed by 2 Sealand five-unit articulated intermodal cars. Evidently the intermodal cars came from CN via the interchange track here at Port Huron earlier this week. The boxcar they were behind Thursday evening appears to have been shoved down to almost the east end of CSX's remaining trackage in the general direction of where the boatyard used to be.

502 working cory with 2 cn. Train is about as long as the yard. 1228

[SD40-2]

M39331 20 was through Brantford around 11:20 with CN 8873, CN 2154, QNSL 310, and QNSL 315. The SD's are freshly rebuilt and billed to return home, but are evidently lost in CN's system once again

[kc8bdr]

I caught what should be 502 at Williams Lake Rd at 7:08 PM.

CN 2305

Edit to add:

They were almost all auto racks tonight.

[kc8bdr]

X502 cleared the detector MP 59.9 at 6:21 PM they did not work Durand (as observed on ATCS).

BNSF 8045 Leading.

Edit to add:

I caught X502 at Williams Lake Rd. at 9:05 PM.
