CN G887 passing through Battle Creek Amtrak station at 11:56 A.M.

I wanna get up to Durand sometimes this winter to catch some trains running in the Fluffy White pieces of Death I know early morning tends to be the best time but what day is the best day and what days and times does GLC run through Durand? GLC runs only on Monday-Fridays. The southbounds tend to l...

L507 through the High Wye in Durand at 9:18 PM

L508 came to Durand with 4 locomotives, they dropped 2 of them off in the yard since CN is over there giving out candy and goodies to trick or treaters and railfanners. They’re spreading the word about how to be safe around the tracks. Following that L508 coupled back up to their train they left on ...

Train 508 passed MP 22.5 at 6:10 pm. No containers today. Beat 507 out back for the first time in awhile.

Yeah 507 departed about 2 hours late due to other trains coming into Flat Rock Yard.

NB 515 went past MP 22.5 at 12:05 pm with a lot of tanks and three loaded gondolas of scrap from DCON.

High green on Main 1 at MP 22.2 (Opdyke Road) popped up at 12:35 on my walk and I presume it is 251 getting on the Holly at Milwaukee Junction.

Yep E251

Very long westbound just went through Durand, saw it on the cams. It had 5 locomotives, autoracks at the front, hoppers in the middle and tankers on the back. Anyone know that symbol?

NB through Holly. No idea what it is

What was it carrying?

CN 2302 and BCOL 4641 (CN paint) are switching the yard in Durand. Not sure which direction their train will be going once leaving town. It has left the yard and is preparing to depart town westbound. There is another westbound somewhere around Swartz Creek that’s also lined through on the other ma...

Flint Sub was very busy last night between 1 am to 2 am. Westbound manifest went through before Q123 (or X123), I think it was M397. Westbound intermodal train went through around 1:17 am, it was Q123 (Are they still calling it that? Or is it only running as needed now as X123?). Later on Eastbound ...

507 is flying by MP 22.5 at 5:48 pm. Six empty gons up front, probably for DCON on Monday. Autoracks after some mixed, more than usual, then containers. You sure those aren't for Ferrous? You mean in Pontiac? Might be but DCON gets them from the south usually on this train or 251. Train 508 went pa...
