First WB was M301amessmann wrote: ↑Fri Jan 27, 2023 1:30 amCN Z148 took M1 at Cedar to bypass two westbounds between there and Okemos.
Not sure on the power or symbol for the first, which was stopped just across the diamond at Trowbridge. The second was led by 5694, which stopped with the power just over the Bouge St. crossing at MP 225.
Second WB was E251 w CN 5694/CN 2305, power from the previous day’s Q116.

Thanks CRD. It seems like Nolan would have communicated that to CN but it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't.

It looks like the Warren Local. Why is it carrying loaded centerbeams northbound? Those centerbeams are for the transload by 8 Mile which is south of here.
Edit: Manistique posted at the same time I did so that answers my question.Nolan Distribution may not have been ready to receive the cars. May have gotten behind in unloading the previous days cars with the heavy snowfall and no room for the new loads coming in.Manistique wrote: ↑Thu Jan 26, 2023 12:59 pmNB Train 515 passed MP 22.5 on the Holly around 12:40 pm. It had all loaded centerbeams plus one empty one on the rear end,which is odd as it is mostly loaded ones on the SB run. Probably a Conrail interchange pickup.
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...
