Passing MP 22.5 at 6:40 pm at a leisurely speed.

What may be 508 is flying by MP 22.5 at 6:54 pm. It looked like the first couple cars were double stacks in the darkness.

LansingRailfan, do you know what train this is? A guy posted on Facebook® (Bill Grooms)! Will this head all the way to Port Huon? Does anyone know?
Update: Facebook® answered! This "Auto Rack" train is E270 which terminates in Lansing!


LansingRailfan, do you also have answers about that D.P.U. from Thanxgiving I asked? Below are the unanswered questions! You answered about the "Grinder!"
