I saw 116 go past MP 22.5 around 2:40 pm or so. NB 515 went by about an hour or so earlier. I missed the earlier 251 today running errands.

Sometime after Amtrak in Durand. CN Z149 with CN 2235 leading a M-2 met a CN mixed freight train that went into flint. I think this is M396. Power was CN/IC 2711 and CN 2268 with the mixed freight.
