Well, you (LansingRailFan) posted that L514 was "SB" at Andersonville at 2:00 PM! This would be incorrect! I caught 514 with IC GP40R #3108 and CN SD60 #5419 southbound from the Derby Road bridge, Birmingham, at 3:10 p.m. My how great it was to see this nice "Black" Illinois Central® unit leading in the sun!!!!

OK LansingRailFan, well just trying to clarify for accuracy! Was the train parked in Pontiac for an hour? I suppose anything is possible!!!! I was only thinking you saw it just before "3 p.m." as you posted at 2:59!!!! It was going fast through Birmingham! Nice train!!!! That is all.
