Northbound mixed freight through Pontiac led by four CN’s. Short train, less than 50 cars, mostly vehicle racks.
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...
