L504 or whatever they call the job that services the customers north of the yard at Port Huron is heading into town right now. I didn't see the train, but it sounded like a 4 axle geeps horn (probably a GPR9) when it crossed 32nd Street.

Also, a late update: the same job, same location, same direction on Tuesday had at least 6 boxcars heading into town. I didn't see the power Tuesday either, but it had a very similar sounding horn.
