They snuck two SB's out ahead of Amtrak 351 this morning on the South Holly. The first one at 5:40 am was short, probably 401. The second was 116 with mixed at the end and flying 60 mph down the Hill to stay ahead of Amtrak. It delayed Amtrak's departure by a few minutes as it was a bit late going by my house at 6 am.

Northbound 401 by Linden at 8:37am.

Didn't get a total car count, but counted AT LEAST 35 boxcars in a row! Don't see that much anymore.

Hey Manistique. Saw your post about the 2 Southbounds this morning. 402 and 116 by you at that time - maybe they both were short on time?

Hey Jason, yep, all those Railbox boxcars were on 401 this morning.

Prince rupert extra, 190? 118? I'm not sure what they're calling it today. By 205 at 1511. Cn on both ends facing forward.

Identified as Q198 currently in the plant at maple, meeting x397 at cedar. 1521

Wb by 205 at 1530. An entire train of empty beam cars! Long train with a dpu in the middle

X397 through Charlotte at 1624 with 3 cn. Middle unit was a ge cowl. Video when I get back to wifi

A482 through New Haven at 16:31. CN 3212 & 3231 with 104 cars.

Wb manifest through Charlotte at 1642 with a single cn. Video later

Eb manifest by 205 at 1714 with 2 cn. Fairly short train. Meeting one at potterville

Southbound 514? with CN 5413, CN junky looking unit SD40-2 Wide Cab (I think), 46 cars - mostly doublestacks.

Now I say 514 wit a question mark because this is 514s power but I read there was a Q198 coming and I think he comes down the Holly, but this was identified with 2 CN units both facing forward, so I do think this is 514.

That 198 had one leading and one pushing. I'm not sure where he's at currently.

Hey Jason.

Maybe 198 goes through to Canada? I thought when 198 does run he runs to Moterm.

Seems like he would be through here by now as you posted him around Lansing around 3:20. Lansing isn't far from Durand and Durand isn't far from me unless I missed him.

198 is listed as prince rupert to homewood so who knows where its headed. I guess we should be happy there's eb traffic coming off the west coast. A lot.of empty trains eb lately. I got video of one in kingman az about 2 weeks ago, saw another on the Flagstaff cam today.
