NY-21? Is at Forest Lawn returning to North Yard from Mack with Autoracks.
I believe this one is now the NY-28.

Form D C-49 for an NS 5176 at North Yard. I believe this is either an FD-61 or 28. This one has the form both ways and is going to Sterling at some point.

There was a car train accident tonight around 8pm on the Sterling Secondary at East 7 Mile Road in Detroit.

3 injuries, unknown which train it was. Just saw a small news story in Detroit News.

Didn't catch the train number but I saw them heading through Huron township (Huron River Drive crossing) at 2:55. Longest intermodal train I've seen on that line in years. It even had a helper mid-train.

If it’s heading north, 20N. If it’s heading south, 21N.

It would be 20N. I didn't stop soon enough to catch the numbers on the engines.

Huron Township would make along the Lincoln Secondary, which meant it was a CSX intermodal.

Ah ok. I still have no idea how Conrail shared assets breaks down and who uses what and all that.

As it turns out, I was wrong. This is actually the NY-27 with it being on Thursday. 28 must’ve been a temp extra. The 27 has become a 12-hr job lately. It seems that depending on the day, the 61 (Sat-Wed) job will do this work while 27 does Mound and eventually North Yard work…….at least that’s what was going on Tue and Wed. A cpl other times I was at Mound, the 27 did the Terminal East with North Yard work… I suppose it just depends on the day….. regardless, great pic

A very long string of vehicle frames in Sterling Yard. Quite a few 60' hicube box cars by the axle plant. No engines were working.
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...
