SB Train 515 with 5931 and five empty gondolas for DCON and a couple of double stacks just passed by MP 22.5 on the Holly at 8:13 am in a snowstorm. Odd to see doublestacks on the local. Short train this morning too.
Manistique, is train 515 going to work Mount Clemens soon today (3-10)? :?: If so, how soon until it heads up the Mount Clemens Subdivision? :?: :wink: My work cancelled for snow, maybe I could catch old GTW SD40-2 #5931!!!! :wink:
L515 no longer works Mount Clemens - only goes as far as Gillen/Polyterm (Nolan). L533 has been handling all work for Chesterfield, Mount Clemens and Fraser. Takes cars for interchange to East Yard and returns to Port Huron. Ever changing plans for these locals...

Got it! Back to how it was previously! I wanted to catch both locals in Mt. Clemens at once! There wasn't much passing today (that I heard)! I checked the tracks this morning, but some train has gone through since the snow began! :wink:

An all-autorack train with BNSF power just rolled by MP 22.5 at 4:05 pm. Let's call it a 280.

WB E271 w CN 2244/CN 5748 light power thru Charlotte. They dropped their train of empty autoracks and intermodal in Flint.

CN is taking Q147 and resymbolling them as E27121 in Ontario. They either get terminated in Flint if it’s a local crew or run thru with or without a pickup to BC.

E27131 generally go to Flat Rock it seems.

This might have been the all autorack train that just passed MP 22.5 on the Holly at 1 pm.
