Headed towards Romulus as Q 216 had gone into the passing track to meet N963 and then Q335. Figured I could get another shot of the GEVO as he was stopped north of Wayne Road.
Just north of the Romulus diamond I caught Q335

Q335 North
HLCX 8138 - HLCX 9035
43 cars
Note: the 9034 was on Q216 and 9035 was on Q335
While I'm jotting down my notes I see an NS Westbound go across the diamond. Should have gone there before writting notes. No shot of that one.
Nothing much else happening at the Romulus diamond so I headed south as I could see someone working down at New Boston.
I heard they were finished there work and were ready to head North. The dispatcher told them they would have to wait for traffic to clear ahead so they said they'd pull up so they could see the signal for the diamond and wait there.
I headed to Northline and took my shots as he was sitting there.

It was getting too dark to shoot after this and I still had a 3 1/2 to 4 hour drive home so it was time to go.
