I've heard 5-6 PM, which proved true today. It could always be later, but that would only be caused by some sort of delay.

Wonder if there was some kind of problem with 389 for them to use it as a part source. I would hope that 394 would be put back into service without being repainted right away.

Until recently, I thought that GLC 393 was the last TSBY painted unit on GLC's roster until it was painted into the anniversary paint scheme last year. There are a couple units that I cannot find pictures of in GLC paint, and those units are 394 and 389. If they are still in TSBY paint, I'm assuming...

What looks like 391 is sitting on the Holly just north of Milwaukee Jct. Couldn't see the power.

385 going south through Wyandotte with an SD70M-2 and a C40-8.

Haven't seen intermodal action like that on the Holly in years. This is just a glimpse of what's to come. The Moterm expansion is underway, our area will be flooded with intermodals soon enough.... It'd also be nice to see more autorack trains for Flat Rock or maybe Lake Orion if the plan to start ...

119 pulled out of Moterm with an SD70M-2 and SD75I and went through Royal Oak at about 5:20 PM. After it cleared, 116 continued south from the Royal Oak Amtrak Station to Moterm. Haven't seen intermodal action like that on the Holly in years.

Caught them pulling into Moterm. Most likely will be a 119.

Truck with tie gons went north through Royal Oak at 11:20 AM.

950 south through Royal Oak with 4619 and one loaded bulkhead flat at 9:24 AM.

MOW convoy was at MP 13 and is now at the Troy Amtrak station.

514 is now headed east in Swartz Creek at 9:44.

I'm hearing 116 at Durand. Not sure on the leader's number, but I think I heard 7525. Maybe NS?

A rare daylight 148 came through Swartz Creek at 8:20 AM with a pair of GEVOs.

There is now an EB with an SD75I pair and IC SD70.

GTW 4916 (GT blue) Leading
EJ&E 661
GTW 5930 (CN Paint).

Hoping to catch it in Swartz Creek. Do you know if they're working in Durand?
Edit: I hear them working Durand with GTW 4926 in the lead at 8:15 AM
