14:38 - EB A492 w CN 5750/KCS 4594 at S. Washington Avenue. It has a coil car and one of the coils has a band that’s starting to unravel. One of those “25 feet from the tracks”
LansingRailfan! Does A492 work at Durand? :?: Cool "Gray KCS!!!!" How long do you anticipate until it reaches Emmett? :?: I have a guy (Roger) who can photograph it with my 35mm film camera! It probably will be after dark though!!!! :? :? :?

Finally cleared Durand nearly 3 hours after East Lansing at 17:13

Robert -- sadly that KCS was since repainted to the common red/yellow/black

Doesn't work Durand and will Flint but I personally won't be able to keep up

That's OK! I thought I read a post that said "Gray!!!!" Don't know how that happened! KCS "Southern Belle" is still nice looking!!!!!! :D This used to be a "Gray" KCS, right? :?:

Busy time on the South Holly at MP 22.5. Both 251 and 116 passed each other out back a few minutes ago and now NB 515 just went by following 251 into Pontiac. Three trains in five minutes. And 251 and 116 have passed each other out back like the last three days in a rows. Double track mainline action.
