A491. E251 is following behind.

The earlier sighting of E251 was either an X401 or an X251

By 205 at 2017. I did get video but it will be a while before I post it. I'm way behind with all the videos I got on my trip out west...

What a mess that was in lansing with 491, 450 and 501...

WB just hit the dd in downtown Lansing at 219.5. 8:28 Pm cleared and reported 8:28 axles.

Most likely E251

Edit: is E251 - 2 units, 204 cars. 2/3rds of this train is 154 sand cars so basically 2 empty S756s plus 50 loaded racks from Flat Rock.
