Likely L502 is currently stopped on the Holly just north of Milwaukee Junction right now. It's blocking at least Caniff Street.

As soon at Amtrak 351 went SB past MP 22.5 at 6 am this morning, what sounded like lite locomotives went NB. I wonder if it was the power to that stack train reported last night at MP 205 of the Flint Sub. above coming back from Moterm lite?

I am 371 is still at Pontiac sorting out a computer glitch. Per the conversation with the dispatcher they have:
CN 3002
GECX 2040
CN 9615
BNSF 4832
BNSF 4950.
I plan to catch them at Williams Lake and will update this post then.

Edit to add:
I did catch 371 at Williams Lake at 7:03 PM. I got over there just in time to miss seeing the power.
