Jason I believe they are replacing M-79 crossing this week. That’s why it’s been pretty dead during the day. Last week they did M-50.

Speaking of
"monotonous," I don't enjoy the
"Manifests" on the
"Mt. Clemens Sub." much anymore! At least the
"Locals" always use better power! Now, the
"Flint Sub." has better locos!!!!
BCOL C40-8M 4617, "Blue" IC C40-8W #2457 are being used out of
"Bristol Yard (Torrey)!" They are not going to
"Scrap" as some others headed to Canada yesterday!!!!
The ones on the way for "Scrapping" were: CN C40-8W #2189,
"Blue" IC C40-8W #2455 and
CN "Zebra Cowl" C40-8M #2428!!!! 
I gotta get out to Flint soon!

501 and 500 work Durand. 451 and 450 work it on Sundays only. 451 and 450 were working it seven days a week during Covid.
But I’m just speculating...
