508 past MP 22.5 at 5:54 pm, same time as yesterday, following Amtrak 355 down the Hill. No containers today. Some steel. Some racks. Some scrap. Empty frame flats. A bit of everything but boxcars and containers.

It should be arriving in Port Huron now!!!! Usually it comes in the afternoon! A guy from Canada messaged me on Facebook®! Is 397 going to stay the night at Port Huron like it has done before? If so, what time would it leave in the morning?

Say WHAT

I wonder if this unit is actually being used as horsepower hours. Pretty rare for BNSF to send something like that on foreign railroads.
