BNSF 5299 on Train 280 is SB just past MP 22.5 on the Holly at 10:21, following Amtrak 353 down the Hill.

382 through Mt. Clemens at 12:19. CN 3801 & 2810 with 150 cars.

371 leaving Flat Rock

371 north at Raven
514 leaving Flint

Train 371 is passing MP 22.5 now at 3:55 pm with two 5700's leading an 8800 leading a 5600. Three loaded coal hoppers a couple cars back and it did look like coal and not landscaping stone.

Wb manifest by 205 at 1624. 2 cn sandwiching a bnsf pulling, cn mid train power pretty far back.

5844 and 5459 are the power today on 514, which just went south past MP 22.5 with a fair number of containers for a SB run.

Amtrak 355 is late leaving Pontiac again today and hasn't passed my house yet. Twenty-five minutes now at 6:02 pm. This is becoming fairly common for 355 for some reason. 350 was pretty much on time arriving at Pontiac today and 355 is the same trainset with just the switch of motive power during the layover at Pontiac. Maybe they are putting on the Charger that has been on display at the depot and that is slowing things down? Those darn Chargers!

Train 515 with 5456 and only two boxcars is passing MP 22.5 at 6:14 pm very slowly, returning to Pontiac. It must have a red board ahead for Amtrak to cross over Main 2 to Main 1 from the depot.

Finally Amtrak 355 is by my house at 6:18 pm, about 40 minutes late.

Northbound looks to be lined out of Moterm @19:16 EDT, guessing L514.

Two light locomotives, looked like the third and fourth ones on 371 today, just drifted SB past MP 22.5. Don't know what they are for as can't see the need for an extra container train out of Moterm what with 514 ready to head back to Flint with containers.

And at 7:37 pm 514 went NB with just its two locomotives so there must be a container extra tonight out of Moterm.

Today’s version of 384 had a colorful lashup of BCOL 4605, GECX 2039, & BNSF 5299 with 162 cars. Through Mt. Clemens at 20:29. First time for me I believe seeing a CN manifest with no CN locomotive on it.

WOW!!!! Now, I photographed this train in Fraser, clearing Masonic Road at 8:25 p.m. BCOL "Cowl" C40-8M #4605, GECX ET44AC #2039, BNSF C44-9W #5299!!!! OH YEAH!!!! This was a much better "Lashup" than both train 385 and 384 yesterday with just "Regular" CN engines!!!!
