Anyone know what that short train was that flew past me about 5:30 this morning? He was bookin' towards Durand, single engine GT blue paint but I didn't catch the numbers, I was in the shower and heard him on the horn heavy as he aproached our crossing. Probably had around 15-20 cars I'm guessing. All I know he was hauling butt.

104 was out working this morning on the Holly. They were up in Royal Oak and are heading back to Moterm after Amtrak 353 got by them. Power is GTW 5854.

490 and 491 had the CN 2654 and 5620 today. Saw them at Milwaukee Junction twice, first was around 13:00 when 490 went south and 491 around 17:15 with the 5620 leading.

382 came through Milwaukee Junction a few minutes after 490 cleared. They had the CN 5707 and 5603 today.

TD2 has a southbound lined up at Milwaukee Junction, should be 383 - 19:20

385 is just past Nolan heading south towards the Shoreline - 20:00.

384 at Nolan with a track authority to Tappan. CN 2630 and 5791 - 20:43

There is a 276 running tonight, and by the sound of things they should be swapping crews with 385 at East Yard.

276 with CN 2543 North leading, has a track warrant to Haven following behind 384.

CN 5779 was at Moterm with a light engine to make a pickup about 1530. I believe they went north on the Holly but I didn't stick around to see. GTW 4918 also went up to Moterm today with double stacks out of East Yard.

CN 8804 North had a track warrant good from Nolan to Tappan issued at 1829.

Train 383 had the 2232 leading today.

384 and 385 made a crew swap at East Yard around 1850 today. 384 had CN 5701 and 2538, while 385 had the 5784 and 2541.

Amtrak 352 had two NPCUs today. One leading the train, a P42 and the other on the tail end.
