KCS and 4 CN went east on a M396 on Monday so this is most likely an X397 or M397

EB with CN/NS and mixed freight by 205 cam at 3:11 AM. Some racks, mixed freight, a ton more racks and then stacks on the end. Looks like another combo A450/Q116, probably running as an A450. They will terminate the Q116 symbol/train in Battle Creek and will usually terminate the intermodal OVER the local/freight train/symbol because it makes their intermodal metrics look better.
