A fairly decent-sized I-150 headed up the Secondary today, 1 August. Headed by a UP locomotive and a BNSF pumpkin; couldn't catch the numbers from where I was. He hit the Inkster Road crossing at 13:18, and cleared by 13:22. LONG string of double-stacks.

Unknown if they will leave them on the main or siding as they woke me up from my afternoon nap. 4014+4228 for power today both units running long end first. Earlier, at 08:25 this morning, Webberville grain load, G827-29 went east with 798+3210 on the head end and 93 cars, two more than they had when going west on July 28th as G740-25.
