02/29/2024 - 21:25 - 391/395 NB thru Durand with a 100-car unit train for ZFS - Ithaca from AARR - these are ZFSs hoppers that went down on January 25th to Osmer - CN seems to handle these trains a lot faster than AARR and whomever took it from there - either NS or CSX.

This train was spotted this morning in Owosso.

PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...

MMRR will have a crew on duty today to spot that train.
