BNSF Coal Trains returning to the Detroit line...?
Uhhh, Guys, NS 881 is running today, it was seen in Rockwood earlier by my buddy Josh. Looks like one of the trains out of Swanton, BNSF SD70ACe and AC44CW up front, what's the deal? Is this a detour or is they legit back? Haven't seen a Coal Train run up the NS D-Line in FOREVER...

It is my understanding that NS has the coal contract for DTE along the shore line sub. They even built a new yard for staging the coal. Maybe the DTE plants have been over-stocked due to lower usage?

Doesn't NS work Monroe and Trenton, with CN working River Rouge?
