A pair of road engines arriving in Pontiac Yard off the Belt Line with a pair of loaded gondolas from the large scrap yard north of Walton Blvd. First time I’ve seen road engines on the Belt Line.
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...

Victoria Ave is on the old route, opposed to taking the shared assets, and is the crossing of the CN Shore Line and Conrail Junction Yard Branch(?). This is in the River Rouge area and is a couple miles north of Coolidge and a mile south of Delray.

Gotcha. Heard it, didn't see it - figured it was 384. 384 just through Mount Clemens at 22:45. Another sb 271 due through in the wee hours - somewhere near Strathroy at the moment.

ATCS showing 492 lined for the East yard, Currently around Climax.
This is my life. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

If this is a problem get used to it.

276? By 205 at 1323 with 2 cn elephant style. That train always seems to have the engines like that. I wonder if there's a reason for it or just coincidence

It cleared Trowbridge at 1354, and a westbound manifest cleared Trowbridge at 1353.
