M356 - not familiar with this symbol in these parts. Do you know where it originated and where it will terminate?

M356 is a mish mash train. Usually terminates in BC. It has freight on it that usually is taken off at BC. It has racks that continue on to Cory, Flint or Flat Rock. If it doesn’t have enough racks to continue on past BC as it’s own train, the racks will goto trains that originate at BC Like 27161, 500, 450 etc… or be added onto trains that head east like M396 or A492 if needed.

OK, knew I couldn't get that "Army Train!!!!" Now, this "Bessemer" SD40T-3 #907 should remain with train 514 for a few days, right? I hope they will keep using for a few weeks!!!! What time does 514 usually depart west out of Flint Torrey ('Bristol') Yard to connect south? If this engine is on this train Tuesday (7-27)─I may be able to get it!!!! :wink:

A450 tied down in Holly. L514 hit a tree going NB around White Lake Twp. Crew ok thankfully but it’s a big tree and the area is a mess.

It was by 205 at 2134. Just rewinding my camera to check out the storms. See what kind of mess I have to look forward to in the morning. Where did 116 end up? Is it tied down somewhere as well?

Sounded like 116 was going to stop just before Durand on the double track until things were moving on the Holly again.

WB mixed manifest at Trowbridge. Missed power but stopped on M1 blocking both sides of Harrison Rd. Likely so until 365 leaves LNS around 8:55 when scheduled
