NS 4251/NS 4115 lead a NB grain train thru to The Anderson’s in Oakley.

Whitmore Lake at 20:55

This is a first in a long time.
NS 4251 solo with an NS-system grain train is NB thru Owosso on the Steel Highway cam at 01:50. They dropped NS 4115 in Owosso, presumably so it could be spun. MAYBE ON THE SRI round table GOBBLESS

NS 4251/NS 4115 lead a NB grain train thru to The Anderson’s in Oakley.
GLC is SB thru Durand at 20:35 with the first loaded grain train (85 cars, corn) from The Andersons in Oakley.

NS 4115/NS 4251. Headed to Osmer.

NS 4115 was spun on the roundtable at SRI yesterday around 11:00 so it could lead south.

The next empty grain train will go north from Durand to Oakley tonight.

GLC parked the train at Byron and went back to spot the other. New crew taking it down this morning and AARR will pick it up today.

20:03 - Horns heard from the Chilson area, presumably OSTN returning back north.
20:39 - OSTN-17 north thru Catrell Dr. with 329, 383, and 399 leading 77 cars. They stopped before Ann Pere diamond however did not work the interchange.
In the siding sits the same cut of 70 cars that L305-16 dropped at 20:12 last night. OSTN-17 crossing the diamonds at Durand at 22:39.
