07:35 - EB M396 with CN 2860/UP 8204 thru Charlotte

Early Sunday morning, an X276 (X27661) with CN 8846 solo and all loaded autoracks departed Flint, MI for Montreal. If the Q122s cannot pickup loads for eastern Canada, Flint is forced to run extras to push out all of these loaded racks. Sounds like more frequent X276s and X396s from Flint as carloads continue to increase, similar to the X491s we are seeing come out of Sarnia, Flint (Durand) or Flat Rock at times, let alone when they put one together out of BC.
