280 type train by 205 at 2300. 2 units, 428 axles

A Southbound train cleared the detector MP 34.2 at 3:09 AM missed catching axle count. CN 2682 leading. Could be the same train KC8RBK reported above or 116.
However, CN 2682 is picking up 1600 feet at Pontiac I think it was 24 cars.

[Manistique]

Train 116 was SB past MP 22.5 at 5:30 am. Very long train with mixed, mostly autoracks, on the rear end.

311 is windmill pieces from Quebec to points westward in the States. It has been running as required for the last couple of years now

542 is a generic local number I believe. Sometimes 371 or 712 will be redesigned as a 542. That number also runs regularly I believe as something similar to a 502 and will work cory.
