[Delray]

251 approaching Durand with 4 others waiting

[bluewonderrails]

An E294 (all auto) went east by Charlotte Cam at 14:05 with solo CN #3844. That very train should be what just took the Chicago Wye southbound at Durand a few minutes ago (per ATCS), since Q116's been long gone

[GTW6401]

The crew aboard the CN 3844 south is swapping trains with the CN 3213 at Moterm.

[GTW6401]

294 met Amtrak 355 in Royal Oak. They have CN 3213, 8015, 8886 and GTW 4921.

[Delray]

508 clear Durand 8952 leading

[Burb8145]

Flat Rock Sub local (not L575 but a different one) heard passing through Wyandotte at 20:47.

21:34: Same local heard passing through Wyandotte again, appears to have finished whatever it was doing at South Yard, although it will hold at CP Rodney for a northbound NS.

[Graham Halverson]

508 clear Durand 8952 leading

Royal Oak at 9:43.

[LansingRailFan]

The crew aboard the CN 3844 south is swapping trains with the CN 3213 at Moterm.

So that’s where the confusion lies. Scanner talk was stepped on when CN 3844 was talking to desk ten about E294. CN 3844 south is E280 81 from Wisconsin. CN 3213 north is the E294 61 from Flat Rock for Canton, Miss.
