... And no connection on CN with Sandusky. Dispatching is in Homewood Illinois and yardmaster on the radio in Flint Michigan...

I bet "Sandusky" was actually "CN Desk 8"

ImageThe Newberry Road wooden trestle bridge over the CN Flint Sub caught on fire and has fallen over the tracks. All traffic seems to be at a standstill as of right now.

All is quiet on the South Holly this morning. Very windy here all night long, especially in the last hour or so, though it seems a bit less right now than it was. Amtrak 351 departed Pontiac on time as did 353, which passed my house at track speed so the wind has not brought any speed restrictions out here. No Train 515, our usual morning freight train, yet but it usually doesn't run on weekends. With the fire mentioned by Zack above I bet there is nothing on the Holly today until late.

I wonder how hard it would be to go around Newberry. Assuming they get it cleaned up today there will be a burst of traffic that should be entertaining

The bridge is west of Durand so they can’t go around it.

EBs are stacking up out there. I’d assume WBs are gonna pile up in Sarnia and PH too.

EBs
Q122 is at Vernon
L500 is at Perry
M302 is at Okemos
M394 is at CP Mill
A492 working in BC
Q116 is in BC

WBs
M399 is at Flint
P365 is back in PH. Ran as far as Lapeer* and then took those passengers back to Port Huron. They are bussing everyone today.
