A NB with one locomotive is struggling up the Hill passing MP 22.5 with mostly mixed freight at 9:10 pm. Maybe an extra 250, or a 507 but I didn't see any containers on it in the dark.

23:13 - westbound by MP 225 on M1, calling an approach for Trowbridge and a stop for Cedar. 5767 leading solo.
Amtrak eastbound by MP 205 at 23:25 or so.
23:58 - Amtrak 364 eastbound by MP 225, P42 number 59 leading, sounds like they hit an animal between 225 and Okemos.

I heard another NB passing MP 22.5 on the Holly last night at around 4 am working hard up the Hill. Maybe an extra 491 considering the time?

An X491 ran early this morning with a solo CN. There was an earlier E251 as well, reported by Delray.

At 06:10, a NB turned EB at Durand using the High Wye. Probably a later-than-usual L507.

That NB 515 or 513 went by MP 22.5 around 6 pm.

Now at 6:30 a very slow, hard working (one locomotive). 508 is at MP 22.5 and is just about to crest the Hill.
