There is a train sitting at the north end of Pontiac Yard. Can’t tell yet what direction it is heading. My guess is northbound.

The Detroit Local is building its train at the south end. Lots of loaded center beams and a few other cars as usual.

Southbound through Durand at 8:10pm. 2 CN engines and another intermodal, mixed hybrid. If I counted correctly, 57 wells, 68 mixed, 34 racks.
I should probably have noted that the 8:10pm southbound was an eastbound-to-southbound, not a westbound-to-southbound, so it wasn't 508. I'm guessing 450 with stacks added onto it, since it had a good amount coil cars and the usual 450 mixed freight and autoracks after the intermodal. Looked like the same train I saw Sunday evening, except the intermodal was on the rear that time, not the front.
