Just passing MP 22.5 at 4:27 pm. Yikes, it took a long time to get here today. The second two units were dead in tow.

Drove by Pontiac Yard this evening, almost seems like CN is storing a ton of steel coil cars there. The empty well cars are still there too.

Saw an autorack train EB headed onto M1 on the MP 205 cam at 18:46
I could be wrong, due to the camera looking into the sun, but it looked like an IC Dash-9 leading, CN 2721, followed by CN 2612, CN 2812, and fourth in line is IC GP38-2 as CN 9567
edit: I forgot heads-up on M356 earlier, so corrected the number on CN 2612

What I presume (from the time) was 508 just went past MP 22.5 at 7:35 pm. The third unit was a GP38 or 40. No containers. Short train. Lots of tanks.

508 has CN 2252, 5673 and GTW 5855. They have one intermodal car on the head end.

116 passing MP 22.5 on the Holly at 2:38 pm with two 8900's. Mostly double stacks today (maybe because of the 356 last night?).
