M356 or L500(??) east by mp205 cam appearing at 00:10:49. 2 CN. Train taking M1 at cpPotterville to head into Snow Yard in Lansing for work.

EB cleared mp205 cam at 00:57:36 led by BNSF #5871. Overheard the power & number on radio a while ago. Going to do work in Lansing at Cory and/or Snow Yard


Elsewhere, there's apparent issues with a switch going on in Flint. A WB hasn't been able to proceed out of the yard for a while, and another WB is being held up. It's likely the WB out of Flint was prepared to take the High Wye in Durand to head into its yard for work.

2 WBs were/are lined out of Port Huron. One of them got the go-ahead while the other is staying put in PH until M394 clears and takes M4. There's also a train on M3.

00:17 - EB with 5750 and 5742 by MP 225, on M2, heard discussing W. Flint switch issues about 25 minutes later.

M397 west clear mp223 East Lansing at 02:38, 11°F. CN #2950 + KCS #4782 + FXE #4086

L500 on M1 passed by while M397 was still going along. CN duo #8843 + #2227

SB sitting at Vinewood. 2 CNs.

EB solo CN leader with manifest just cleared up Hagadorn East Lansing.

E280 was on the ground at Vinewood last night. This has led to the cancellation of Amtrak Wolverine trains through Friday.

WB U709 w CN 8933/CN 8014 lined out of Tappan. M397 is in the Yard, M383 departed ahead of U709 and went down the Clemens

There was a solo lite SD70M-2 that went by the Charlotte cam at 0749, any idea where that was going?

Passed MP 22.5 on the Holly at around 2 pm.

Hello LansingRailfan,

U-709 is Ethanol right? Haven't heard/seen this symbol on CN through Michigan before, do you happen to have origin/destination? Any additional info or was this just a fluke?

Thanks.

515 is at the Sugarhouse Wye with mostly boxcars for Pontiac.
