Thanks GTW6401. Caught 2 trains at Haven. The souhbound was in the siding when I arrived around 8. The northbound showed up around 15 mintues later with a SD70 and 40-2 with around 55-60 cars, all tank cars except 4 bulkhead flats (looked like CWR cars) and anotehr car or two on the front. The southbound departed qucikly after the northbund lceaered. It had 2 cowl units and around 100 cars with mostly loaded auto racks but also a large block of NS/SOU 50' box cars and scrap cars as well as a few others.

Around 6pm I saw a southbound on the Mt Clemens Sub near the former Stock lumber spur with the same SD40-2 and SD70 that I saw the night before. About 100 cars of mixed freight with a lot of loaded auto racks and garbage hoppers. Also had a generator on the head end bumpered by a pair of garbage hoppers on each side.

Heard another one around 7:30pm around the same location but I didn't see it.

CN 382(I think) hit a car on the Mt Clemens train crew is okay, no details on the occupants of the car. The engineer reported the car was on fire.
