514 hasn't departed from Moterm yet. Sounds like they have to pickup some engines in Pontiac.

Also somewhat related....9 Mile in Ferndale is closed to replace the crossing.

1:00 AM - 9/17 - WB 4 or 5 unit mixed freight. CN ff/CN ff/CN rf/fourth unit looks to be an orange EJE unit and I can't tell on the fifth but it's definitely a darker shade. mixed freight. Looks like a M399/X399 with the dirty dirt covered gons.
