WB 3-unit M399 approaching Okemos.
EB A492 departing BC.
EB M394 approaching BC.

Lately we’ve seen A492 contain L500’s flint cars and a third unit. Then they set off the flint cars and the third unit that L501 uses the next day. A450 handles the set off on the Durand cars that would normally be on L500.

West at mp205 cam at 18:37. Error of 633 axles from HBD 206.3. Should be 632 for the math to work on 4 units.

After a Z148 at 00:57 this morning seen on 205 cam, didn't appear any other train went through until P365 will in a bit from this post. West by mp218 at 09:01.

At least three other WBs due and on their way toward 205. Z149 on M1 at mp208, another WB (M399) at Shaftsburg/Perry, and another (A491) out of Flint Yard right now on single track, plus another WB lining to work in Flint.

09:16 -- P365 by mp205, Z149 lined behind him to proceed west off M1 to single mp208

09:25 -- Z149 west by mp205. CN #3889, #2673. M399 lined to M2 mp208. A491 at Vernon mp250.6

09:31 -- EB, likely E274, lined to take M1 at mp208. WB at Flint siding near Kearsley, mp271.8. Slowly making its way to the yard.

This was L501. One of those two CN units was the CN Veterans HU that came in on an E271 to Flint
