M397 seems like it's doing some work at Cory. May have possibly had some autos to set off there, as once it hit M1 at mp215, it was only lined to Maple mp210.4. The red line flow via ATCS never made it there, and per radio, he'd come to a stop. Not sure how often 397 would make a rare(?) stop like this, unless it's an occasional thing or if perhaps he had autos to give if that from another train.

For fun... aside from UP 8961 having been through a couple weeks ago, CSX #994 part of M397 today, had made an EB tour back on January 8th. KCSM 4887, which part of today's A492, was on January 12th's A492, only a different CN leader then. Three foreigns in one day all with prior tours earlier this month on CN Flint. I've only been railfanning considerably less time, so I'm not sure how often something like that occurs.
