[LansingRailFan]

L503 departing Durand w 24 cars for Battle Creek. CN 2238/CN 8861

Power/crew was on an E271 that terminated in flint. The last couple of weeks when they have rack trains terminating in Flint they have been sending them power light to Durand to pick up what A491 would normally pick up. They now have a symbol for this move and it’s L503.

A450 used to be L502.

With auto traffic being so on and off lately, it’s forcing them to make some different moves.
