Eb manifest by 205 at 1421 with cn, blue bc rail, cn. A bunch of excavators on the tail end

The EB was M396. Its entering Bancroft where it is meeting M397. 397 has 8899/5701/8880. Consist has a high and wide 42 cars back then some green sprinkled in: an old BN auto rack and a bright green newish Incobrasa Industries CH.

Well what are the engines on M396? Especially what is the BCOL unit? Where is this train now (3:54 p.m.)? Is it going to work Flint Bristol/Torrey Yard?

Looks like its about the 257 dd lined down the main, crossing over at flint to me with a route to e flint. I cant see farther than that. That bcol engine was a wide cab ge. I cant say which model. Newer end leading and a similar ge in cn paint trailing it.

Well I won't be able to get it! Sounds like the BCOL unit was not "Cowl" unit (Full Wide)! That would be a GE C44-9W then!

Cool, another BCOL "Cowl" today!!!! Too dark though! Now, are these locos expected to come north on the Mt. Clemens Sub. tomorrow night? Or will they likely end up on the Holly Sub? Man I want to catch some "Active Cowls!!!!"
