13:12 - CN A492 getting an approach at MP 225 M2 to meet WB M399 at Okemos (MP 227). A492 had CN 3085, UP 7884, CN 5484, and CN 5366. The latter two sounded DIT. Just as the tail of 492 passed me, M399 arrived, with CN 5601, CN 5623, and BNSF 8255, head end passing me at 13:16 on M1. DD at 205 reports 734 axles for M399, would love an axle count on A492 if anyone has it.

Not a train on the South Holly today. No Amtrak. No freight. Nothing.

First train of the day, 251, is rolling past MP 22.5 at 4:20 pm. Going pretty fast so no wind restriction or so it seems.

No Amtraks out of Pontiac again this morning. And 350 out of Chicago is canceled again too. "On going server issues." Same with the Bluewater. Poor Amtrak.
