Well i went to Saginaw and the 281 was working at Norman Street yard. The 2052, 1280, and 2003 were burried deep in the yard away from railfans eyes. the 381 and 3504 were sitting by the wadsworth street shanty. Out at airport road pointed east was the 3866 and 3867 and a few cars. I went to reese and the HESR is storing plastic cars on the old branch that went to munger. They have a crap load of cars there. heres what I saw and Matt, If you read this, will you trace these cars and see what it says for them if anything.

First cut was from Hack road south and there were 7 cars
NCIX 1277 Was the closest to hack Road. On the other side of hack road was a 52 car cut and it began with NCIX 6668 AND WENT NORTH TOWARDS MUNGER... ON BLOCK ROAD, THE CUT ENDED WITH NCIX 6247 AND ANOTHER CUT BEGAN THERE WITH NCIX 6170 AND 13 MORE CARS. THAT CUT ENDED WITH NCIX 1845. THE FOLLOWING CUT WAS NEAR COTTER ROAD AND BEGAN WITH NCIX 6795 AND ENDED WITH NCIX 6706 AND SECOND FROM THE END WAS NCLX 251. THAT CUT WAS 42 CARS LONG. THE FINAL CUT WAS NEAR MARKEL ROAD AND BEGAN WITH NCIX 1950 AND ENDED 25 CARS LATER WITH NCIX 6037.

126 cars total all ACF centerflow plastic pellet hoppers of the NCIX and NCLX markings. pretty neat to see out in the middle of BFE.
