NS WB through Dexter 2:20 pm today (Saturday 8/5/2023). I would assume B25, but B25 isn't listed as running on Saturday. Car was mainly steel coil cars of various predigrees, with covered hoppers, a couple tank cars and a couple Omni Gons and a single Amtrak Ballast hopper. Couldn't see power as it was by the window at the library before I got to the window.

Is B2T an extra of B25 (or was this fast typing and fat fingers, hitting the T instead of the 5)? B2T isn't listed on the NS Symbols page.

SouthernMichiganRailfan posted "backing up into its destination" at 9:15 a.m. (August 13th), Belleville, MI, on "Heritage Units!!!!" OK, this train was at Toledo, OH for training purposes last week (for those who don't know)! Now it is going to Rawsonville Yard for training August 15-17! They had NS SD60E #911 with NS GP38-2 #5642! They took off NS 911 on train W33 yesterday to Bellevue, OH! Why'd they do that? I would like to see both cool units together! Maybe 911 will joint the train again! Or, does it need servicing first? I am looking at catching this train hopefully Thursday August 17th with "Railfan" Gary! Will it depart the yard after the event at 5:30 p.m.? Or sit around? "No Access" to the train or events in the yard!!!!

Apparently when it ran from Oakley to Toledo, it had a symbol in the NS system of B65-19. I’ve never heard of that before.
