Yesterday the SB 514 was just two light engines and the NB (whatever its number was) was the same locomotives and all containers so yes maybe or at least for yesterday.

There's not always cars to/from Lang. However, L514 has turned back to Flint at Moterm the past two days. Looks like L507 did run up to Pontiac and back to Lang overnight (as it use to before the change a couple weeks back). Will have to see what happens today.

WB P365 out of Durand at 08:08 on time

It looks like L501 has popped up on M1 around Cory Yard. They were thru Durand around 07:04 with CN 3020/CN 2817/CN 2643/BNSF 4171. 3020/2817 were on the G886 for Durand and it looks like they had the crew spin the power at Otterbine when they arrived in Flint.

09:21 - WB P365 by the 205 cam.
- L501 set to depart Cory Yard

09:28 - WB 4-unit L501 with CN 3020/CN 2817/CN 2643/BNSF 4171 by the 205 cam

EB 4-unit A492 w CN pair and SW1500s WC 1560/WC 1559 DIT by the 205 cam. They are destined for a dealer in Sarnia.

D87C9EEC-9EE7-45D9-A466-79158B0E905D.jpeg
WC 1559/WC 1560 are in Flint, dropped by A491. Will be going south to LTEX via L514 down the Holly Sub to Lang Yard.

Original waybill was wrong and had the two SW1500s billed to someone in Sarnia.

251 passing MP 22.5 on the Holly at 3:28 working very hard up the Hill. The 9600 GP38 is really barking away and appears to have all its carbon cleaned out by here. There were no containers on the headend so they must have dropped them off at Moterm on the way?
