Fire is adjacent to the tracks near M.P. 18. Dispatcher is holding M382, M384, M385 and M383 until area is clear and safe - likely in the morning. Could affect L515 as well . The main borders the property in question.

It’s a warehouse of a company that distributes vapes and vape supplies. My sister lives nearby, I’m trying to get more information if she knows anything.

OK, there weren't trains on the Mount Clemens Sub. until this afternoon that I have noticed! Lots of people heard this explosion, but I was sound asleep! :D OK, I saw three trains in a short time today (3-5) with a "Goofy Guy!!!!" They came in quick succession (did not log loco numbers)! Saw southbound 383 at Masonic Road, Fraser! It had two regular CN ET44AC/ES44ACs and one CN ET44AC Mid-D.P.U. with 148 cars about 3 p.m. Then we saw northbound last night's 384 with two regular CN guys, uncounted! 16 Mile crossing, Clinton TWP. This was before 4 p.m. Lastly, we got northbound 382 again with regular CN guys and 186 cars! 13 Mile, Roseville around 4:30 p.m. :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
