529 met 385 at Haven earlier this afternoon. 529 had the GTW 4622.

950 grabbed the stacks that 529 brought down and took them to Moterm. They are still going with the GTW 4626.

CN 184 went north on Ann Arbor from NS at about 9am, 9:20am through Temperance and it had a CN 15th anniversary unit trailing. It's most likely at Flat Rock now, but figured I'd let anybody know who might be interested.

Thats NS 353, which becomes CN 384. CN 385 is what becomes NS 184 and goes to Bellevue.

384 has CN 2422 and 2113, which were on 385 Saturday. The CN power goes to Bellevue, and heads north on 384 usually 2 days later.

Currently in Port Huron:

Unknown westbound, BCOL 4608 is 2nd of two units

Loaded windmill train (eastbound) with CN 5645 on the point. Looks to be a solid train of GIMX flatcars.

393 is stopped in track 2 in Port Huron. A new crew is heading out to the train to take it west. Power is CN 5726 and CN 8929(?).

That windmill train sounds like it might be symboled X330, and is now pulling toward the tunnel from track 4 in Port Huron.

Oh ok, I wasn't sure exactly as all I remember is people talking about it in a different thread and I assumed it was the same symbol coming back. Thanks.
