Southbound 280 by Linden at 8:39am with 86 cars. He had 2 CN locomotives, but didn't catch the numbers. I can once again see trains from my upstairs window as the farmer has cut the tall corn field and I can see across the way again.

The "could have" been 116 without intermodal cars, but I think it was 280.
If I recall, that’s an M356
5:45 - EB 2-unit CN/CN and racks by the 205 cam - This is that M356 that met E251 at Vinewood and swapped head ends. Sounds saucy and risque but it's NOT. AT ALL. 86 cars for Flat Rock

10/16 - 22:49 - WB 3-unit mixed freight with a lot of loaded lumber throughout by the 205 cam
This was M397. A drunk driver drove into it at the S. Washington Ave crossing in Downtown Lansing and that’s what caused the P364 to be delayed for over 2 hours. The car bounced off of the train and took out the signal and gate. Driver walked out unscathed.

Got a clear signal for an eastbound through Schoolcraft. Not sure of current location but should be close. That's all the info I can provide as I'm not a frequent railfanner on the CN line.
