Train 396 with CN "EJ&E Heritage" ET44AC #3023 was spotted ("Heritage Units") heading east through Swartz Creek at 4:39 p.m. It should still be working Flint, right? Maybe Roger should head to Port Huron now to catch for me!!!!! Posted at Swartz Creek by MichiganRRproductionsYT: https://heritageunits.com/locomotive/detail/CN3023

This afternoon at approximately noon and 2:30 a pair of southbounds went down the Mt. Clemens Sub. The first was a general freight but the second was either a unit train of vehicle racks or close to it.

Holly Subdivision Report for Sunday:

251 went by around 11:45 am. He didn't seem to be 3000 feet long and was flying.

116 went past around 1:30 pm. Racks then stacks.

507 and Amtrak 355 passed each other around Opdyke Road at 5:35 pm. 507 was also flying by with a short train, double stacks on the rear.

508 just went flying by at 6:30 pm with a shorter than usual train. Only saw one coiled steel car. Either the containers were on the headend or no containers today, can't remember.

Caught 508 in Durand - no intermodal today, just mixed up front and autoracks on back. I coulda swore I saw several coil cars scattered through the train, but maybe I'm remembering wrong.

I'll make an assumption you could have. The 508 I saw on Wednesday was also without intermodal and also had coils
