Guess who’s back, back again?
8952. That’s who. It will lead E251. Still in Flat Rock, but is poking out and barely visible on the Van Horn camera.

Edit: Now coming out of Flat Rock. GEVo and M-2 trail elephant style

Southbound lined on the Chicago Wye, most likely Q116. E251 and Q116 should meet in Holly.
Edit: E251 will go into the siding in Holly to let Q116 pass.

What looked to be an early M301 just went west through Imlay City with 8863, 8807, 2542 leading. They'll be taking the siding in Lapeer. I'm guessing they're gonna wait for M302?
