So yesterday I reported 251 by Linden at 5:15pm. After that until just after 11pm, there were 4 more trains by Linen! That's 5 trains in 6 hours, which is a lot for the Holly Sub in that short amount of time. After its dark, I can't see anything, so reading the other posts above there was 514, 280, and 2 other trains. I wonder if that 276 came down the Holly or was for Flint. One of the other trains might have been 450, and the last one might have been an early 116, but man we were rockin' last night! After 11:15pm I went to bed, so don't know what else may have come through.

It sounds like there were two southbound rack trains, northbound 514, 251, and a X251 (or maybe X393). CN's auto traffic seems up quite a bit.
