12:40 pm. Sorry. Typo.

507 slowly rolling past MP 22.5 at 5:25 pm, giving Amtrak 355 a chance to depart Pontiac and crossover Main 2 to Main 1 blocking everything in the process. A lot of autoracks again today.

There’s also a 529a order (stop ‘n flag) on one of the crossings in Pontiac. Not sure as to which one.

Looking forward to your presentation tonight at the Michigan Railroad Club!

NB 515 with 5447 is drifting past MP 22.5 on 251's block returning to Pontiac at 1:22 pm. They ran them both on Main 1 for some reason today, unlike yesterday, and with Amtrak 350 getting close too. Go figure. Seven loaded scrap gondolas on the rear end, looks like from DCON.

I heard that Padnos bought that scrap yard in Fraser or wherever it is on the Mount Clemens Sub recently. Maybe that is why they are shipping by rail again?

I think I had seen them pass Trowbridge diamond at 14:54, racks up front with lots of intermodal trailing. 8864 and 8953.

Hearing rumors that M385 derailed in the Saint Clair river tunnel, can anyone confirm?

This is very incorrect. No train derailed in the tunnel.

11:12 - 8000 and 8889 led a train of manifest and racks thru East Lansing. They were on M2. Did a Canadian cab SD40-2 trail on a local overnight?

NB 515 passed MP 22.5 at 11:50 am. A lot of empty centerbeams and two boxcars on the rear and that was it for today.
