M384 was following 382 on the shoreline until it stopped at Coolidge on the Shoreline Sub. So, 384 should be through town within an hour or two.

Early mornings have been busy on the Holly south of Pontiac these last two days. Both yesterday and today four trains passed between 3 and 5 am. Two SB's and two NB's. I presume one NB was 371 (is that the number for the train out of Toledo?) and then an hour or so later its old SB counterpart 502 (which I think the number has changed). The other SB was maybe a 116 or a 280 I am guessing. And thrown into the mix both days was a NB lite geep which I presume was a 513 or 515 local out of Pontiac dispatched south to do some work on the Holly returning to Pontiac Yard.

The NB train from Toledo is A401, the SB train to Toledo is A402. I've been seeing A402 turn south at Durand around midnight lately, and seeing A401 turn west at Durand before sunrise (sometimes working the yard). So these trains are both likely to pass you late at night.

On Tuesday, there was an autorack train SB and sand train SB in the night. Haven't checked the camera archive for last night yet, though.
