Is this the spur south of Airport Road? And did you happen to catch if they're working anywhere else in Waterford?

502 with CN 2113 (15 anniversary) and 2037 at Airport Rd in Waterford at 6:44 PM.

A late 950 returning to Pontiac went by Pontiac Amtrak at 3:44 PM with 4619.

904 left on 451 today.

451 is northbound in Gaines at MP 60 right now.

Trailing unit should be an SD70M-2.

Haven't heard it through Gaines yet. Have you seen 502 work Durand today? I haven't heard it on the scanner either.

391 went north past Pontiac Amtrak at 8:46 PM with CN 2432 and IC 1017.

IC 1017 & CN 2432

This is 502. It was working Pontiac at around 4:30 PM.

451 with CN 5446 and 5481 went north through Waterford a little after 2 PM.

My best guess is that it'll go out on tonight's 384 if it hasn't left already. I'll post about it if I see it.

Gray GTW 5947 is sitting in Flint Yard a little east of the yard office. Not great for pictures.

I thought they had stopped running in April 2014. But now that you mention it, it may have been more recent. Not sure why I thought 2014

IIRC 766 and 767 don't run anymore.

Yep, that train was 765. Hard to believe that 766/767 stopped running 3 years ago.

Nope, the Tue-Sat means it arrives Tue-Sat mornings. You probably won't see a thing move in Alpena until Tuesday morning due to the holiday. So does the Monday-Friday 326 arrive in Bay City Monday-Friday mornings? Because I believe it departs Alpena at night and arrives in Bay City the next morning...

Another LSRC question here. I had no luck in St Helen, but I may try Alpena tomorrow morning. According to the train symbols wiki on this site, 327 runs from Bay City to Alpena Tuesday-Saturday. I've heard that it usually arrives in Alpena the morning after it leaves BC. So I should be able to see 3...

This train has been using two engines lately!!!! Last weekend I heard on the scanner that it was headin...

That was 451. I'm assuming 4619 was left in the yard then?

385 is well on it's way down the Mt Clemens sub. There's also another train following, via radio blocking. I didn't get a symbol, but I think the last 3 digits of the lead unit are 662. There's a digit in front of that first 6, but it wasn't clear on the scanner. That second train was probably 271 ...
