B-1-G westbound from Kalamazoo's Botsford Yard for Niles and Dowagiac with the Conrail GP40-2s 3066 and 3065, two boxcars (probably for National Copper) and four loaded flatcars of steel wire for National Standard, two of which were long 89' Canadian National types. They were by BO Tower at 12:35PM.

Also, at that time, B-0-K was switching out cars at the east end of Botsford Yard with the NS GP40-2 #3069 and GP38-2 #5339. I also noticed a single Conrail 86' hi-cube boxcar in Botsford Yard. Any idea where that may have been going to or coming from?

Amtraks seemed to be mostly on time this morning.
