SB 280 type train passing MP 22.5 at 7:30 pm. It looked like a single BNSF locomotive was the power.

I forgot to report that we had a Sand Train SB on the Holly yesterday at some point.

Last night around 9:45 pm there was a NB freight past MP 22.5 that, if 251 hadn't gone by earlier in the day, I would have said it was 251. I presume it was an extra. A BNSF loco was leading a CN.

Then at 3:10 am, what I presume was 401 went by, and exactly an hour later at 4:10 am, what I presume was 402 went by after the crew swap in Pontiac between these two trains.

At 7:55 am Train 116 is SB passing MP 22.5 with a 5600 leading a 5700 leading a 4600 red and white BCR Cowl.

At 3:35 pm EJE 657 was struggling to get a very long train of empty well cars up the Hill NB headed to Pontiac through Bloomfield Hills. Must have been an extra as 515 had 5459 again today and came back earlier.

[Manistique]

What I presume is NB Train 251 is slowly working its way up the Hill past MP 22.5 at 6:25 pm with five locomotives: A CN followed by a BNSF "executive" cream and green SD70(?), another orange BNSF and two CN's. Only the first two locomotives are pulling.

Right behind the above train was returning 515 NB with 5459.

And right behind 515 is 514 NB with 5340 leading 5413 passing MP 22.5 at 7 pm.

Wb by 205 at 2236. 2 bnsf and 2 cn. Consist kinda looks like 251 so they may have set and engine off somewhere along the way.
