So I am missing all the trains passing MP 22.5 today.

At 11:00 am what sounded like maybe 515 was SB.

At 2:45 pm what may have been 371 from the traffic jam on Opdyke Road was NB past MP 22.5.

And at 3:00 Amtrak 351 went by and at 3:18 Train 515 with 5456 and three or four cars followed NB.

EASTLANSING POLICE: NB Harrison Rd closure this afternoon (south of Trowbridge Rd) for emergency rail fix. Details in web message. nixle.us/B298J

I heard earlier of a 10mph slow order for m2 in that neighborhood. They must have found something fairly major to close a road impromptu. 1614

M371 did indeed go onto the Holly during the 1400 hour, passed Royal Oak Amtrak at precisely 1400. BNSF 7500 (ES44DC) was leading.

Looks like they replaced the south rail on main 2 right at the northbound lanes.

Southbound Harrison is open, crew still working on northbound side, but they are letting Amtrak 364 through on main 2.

Short delay, but 364 left East Lansing at 20:55.

Signals lined for a westbound.

edit-

CN 2304 west, by at 21:01. Stopping at Cedar, so probably another eastbound soon.

That would be CN 2124 (15th Anniversary C40-8) and BCOL 4610 (C40-8M).

I'm wondering if maybe the first one was a 382?
