IC 1038/CN 5766 WB out of Flint and into Durand Yard at 3:02 PM. Unsure of what they are picking up at this time or if they are just turning one of the units. Both units were facing East.

Running as an X396. Picking up entire train in Durand. Lotta grain/corn/beans plus other cars from GLC/HESR. Flint based crew.

So unfortunately there goes IC 1038.

Man what happened to this "Bessemer" engine? Will it come back to train 514? That didn't take long!!!! :roll:

Also, somehow I missed CN 🦓 🦓 "Zebra Cowl" 🦓 🦓 #2423 on train A482 trailing fourth of four locos! That's the 🦓 🦓 "Zebra Cowl" 🦓 🦓 that was on train 383 yesterday!!!! I was close to Mt. Clemens when it was passing at 5:40 p.m. POOP!!!! Now, would this engine be expected to return to the Mt. Clemens Sub. soon? 🦓 🦓
