116 south on 2 at MAL Junction.

116 met 515 in front of the Amtrak station. 508 is picking up 3 engines later and dropping one off, so the CN 8818 isn't staying.
Do you know what engines L508 is picking up?
CN 8818, 8824 and 5450.

LansingRailfan, do you know where the LORAM® "Rail Grinder" is going next? :?: They already did this section, right? Maybe it is the second main, technically passing sidings! Now, could you please answer my questions from early this morning (posted below)? :wink:

EB M356 was the second train. They peeled off the rear DPU in BC. By MP 205 at 16:20.
:shock: COOL!!!! LansingRailfan, did you see this train? :shock: A rear D.P.U. is great! Is CN putting them on the rear more in MI now? :?: I prefer them on the end (for photos) and CN requires Red Marker Lights!!!! Were they lit on this D.P.U.? What engine number was it?

No, I don't think it was 5450, which surprised me. I think it was 5456 today. The boxcars looked like paper ones for Royal Oak so I am guessing it was a 513. 515 usually doesn't run on weekends.

116 went past MP 22.2, Opdyke Road, on the Holly at 11:50 am with a CN GE leading an ex-CITI unit elephant style. Racks followed by doublestacks.

5450 probably went to Flat Rock on that 508 power move last night out of Pontiac.

Loram went west this morning. It was sitting in the old Owens-Illinois siding this morning in Charlotte. Water trucks followed it west.

LansingRailfan, is the "Grinder" expected to travel east? It already went to Port Huron! Guess I missed that! Did you see the train with D.P.U. Thursday, 11-24? Were the "Red Marker Lights" lit on the D.P.U.? What engine number was it?
