10/23 - 03:04 - WB 3-unit all CN racks/mixed freight/racks by the 205 cam - either a late E251 (although no sand hoppers or lumber cars) or a very long and late L501? had some of those black and white shorter tank cars we see come from Dow in Midland

WB E275 racks clear Durand 15:58
CN 2268/CN 8867 power a short E275 by Charlotte at 17:09. They cut most of their racks in Flint and carried on with remaining racks to BC.
EB 3-unit C712 with CN 2268/CN 8867 and rear DPU BNSF 5904 by Mishawaka, IN at 13:18 today.

These two units were used on an E274/E275 thru here about a week and a half ago which is why I quoted the sighting above.

This is a combined M396/A492 today so it might have to stop in Flint.

A491 thru East Lansing around 13:45 with CN 3278/CN 3100. Should be in BC by now.
No A492? No problem.

EB 2-unit M394 thru Charlotte at 14:27 w CN 3278/CN 3100 which were on yesterday’s A491 and was the power for the terminated-in-Battle-Creek A492.
