10:19: What I'm guessing to be E251 clearing Federal

This was A401. 251 has not left Flat Rock. Also unless running the old route, CN traffic would not pass through Federal Jct but rather enter the Shoreline just north at Vinewood.

2:12 PM: Per friend: X401 south by Royal Oak with a BNSF leader

Just the normal A401.

[GTWChris]

514 is ready to depart Flint at 16:30. Will have to wait for congestion at Durand to clear before departing.

4:32 PM: SB lined by Royal Oak on M1, either L515 or the people at RTC decided to line 355 an hour an half before it leaves Pontiac

[GTWChris]

251 north at Rodney 16:35. BNSF 3845 and BNSF 9175. Will meet 485 at Coolidge.

I've seen 4 of them out hunting this morning. They're really moving. That's more in one morning than I've seen the last 6 years hunting out here put together
