8:05-8:20 PM - CPKC 231 stalled at the Detroit/Windsor tunnel. Dispatch is gonna send CPKC 134 to help push up the incline. Then next should be the holiday train

02H clear West Detroit following 231. 189 currently doubling in Oakwood, so it will be following two freights west out of OJ.

Edit at 10:25pm: 189 is on the move, picked up their conductor at Enterprise and is on their way westward.
