Spotted an EJ&E working GM Flint Assembly this morning on my trip down 75S from upnorth.

Can you give me the address of the GM plant so I can run up there next time it's there? Is it the yard by the airport or is it separate from that yard?

391 good to head north from Pontiac IC 2709 leading CN 5776 trailing. 28 loads 54 empty
10:33 pm

Edit to add:

I corrected trailing unit number above. Also 340 axels at MP 34.2 at 10:52 PM.

514 with the 4916 departing Flint at 23:09. Sounds like they will have to wait at Durand for a 116/391 meet.

I saw that same power set that is on 391 go east through East Lansing, early Sunday evening, so it must have turned South at Durand. 502 maybe?

That could easily been the case, regrettably I have completely missed 502 for the last few days.

116 is southbound on the Holly with CN 2301 leading at MP 59.9 with 202 axel sat 12:18 am. In looking at ATCS I see 514 is trailing 116 southbound

[Dan Cluley]

514 by 59 at 00:48

391 through East Lansing at 00:42

[Dan Cluley]

2890 & 2893 east are 10 minutes east of East Lansing, with 505, CN 2577 somewhere in between.

[detroitbench]

GTW 4907 heading north approaching Nolan with 17 cars.

[GTWwatcher]

280 is southbound on the Holly Sub right now. Said they may stop in Gaines.

[detroitbench]

385 CN 2832 leading CN 2805 holding at Conant waiting for 533 to make the turn at the Sugar House.

What I believe to be 391 is good to head north from Pontiac. I managed to miss most of the conversation with the dispatcher. They will be meeting track equipment coming south at Holly. 10:18 PM.

Edit to add:

That was 391 CN 8878 Leading I missed the trailing unit. 188 axels at the hotbox detector MP 34.2 10:34 PM.

Will be meeting a Brant truck pulling some cars behind it. This went by the hotbox detector at MP 59.9 at 10:33 PM with 22 axels. 391 and the Brant truck will meet at Holly.

wait I believe to be 391 is good to head north from Pontiac. I managed to miss most of the conversation with the dispatcher. They will be meeting track equipment coming south at Holly. 10:18 PM.

The track equipment is a hirail semi puling five flat cars of equipment. I believe it is the tie gang that has been based out of Lansing since June.

They just passed the detector at mp59.
