behind

22:46 - EB L500 shoves back thru Durand light power after making its set off. They'll continue on to Flint and possibly go drink hot dog water from the Koegel's factory.

Earlier, a WB G875 with CN 2991/CN ex-Citirail 2757 was thru Charlotte with 128 cars

22:53 - EB L500 proceeds eastward across the diamond in Durand on M1 after picking up the rest of their train. Meanwhile, L507 is using the High Wye to jump on M2 and head to flint following L500.

SB 515 with 5466 and six boxcars, six or so loaded centerbeams, four covered hoppers and four tanks just went past MP 22.5 at 7:20 am. A more normal looking and sized train this morning.

OK Delray, what are the six CN locomotives? Do you have numbers for all of them? Anything unusual, or just regular? Well, seeing lots of engines is always nice!!!! Now, I could make it to Birmingham area around 1 p.m. Do you think 251 would have passed by then?

Here are two pix of a GTW train heading north at Royal Oak, MI, January 1993! I was nine years here! All were "GTW Blue" except CSS 2005 (Canon 35mm S.L.R.):

Delray, I totally missed train E251 with the 6ix engines, but would have been cool to see! I love the GTW train in Royal Oak in 1993 with twelve locomotives leading! I (RLJ II), age 9, took! Now, a "Goofy" guy took me to Pontiac hoping to catch 251! Nope, just got Amtrak® 350 arriving in Pontiac and northbound train 515 with CN SD60 #5466 and 18(?) cars after 3:15 p.m.

Manistique, lastly at Pontiac we waited west of the station ('Green' Light for southbound)! Then caught 116 with these two CN SD70M-2s and 70ish cars!!!!

This morning's SB 515 had 5466 and a good sized train. Boxcars, a couple tanks, a string of what looked like empty company gondolas (for tie loading?) and about a dozen loaded centerbeams. Passing MP 22.5 around 7:40 this morning.

Might have gone past MP 22.5 at 11:00 am. I was in basement and just heard a train, didn't see it. Seems too early for NB 515.
