3819 8015 northbound from Pontiac. Mixed freight. Lots of loaded vehicle racks. Picking up speed now. Guessing it was under 100 cars.

Amtrak 350 went past MP 22.5 at 2:10 pm, just a few minutes late.

Then, at 12:17 pm NB 515 with twelve cars, mostly boxcars today, and 5423 went flying by.

X396 east clear mp222 Lansing at 16:30. CN #3013 + BNSF #3934.

The evening parade (plus) is happening on the South Holly.

Amtrak 355 went past MP 22.5 at 5:35 pm, its usual time.

Right afterwards was a SB 513 with what may have been 4805 and a couple of cars.

Now is what looks like 116 is flying by. Racks then stacks. This is the "plus" as it is running a bit later than schedule and instead of the afternoon parade is in the evening one today.

[Manistique]

NB 513 passed MP 22.5 at 7:38 pm

508 at 7:45 pm.

507 just now at 7:55 pm.

And that should end the evening parade of freight trains for the day (and night) on the South Holly. It was another good one. Good night.

Yes. As mentioned in my own post prior to yours

What I didn't add, is they weren't OD in Battle Creek until about 10:45 AM as heard on radio. Another worker had been commenting on their late train today. Don't recall if I heard reason, but there was a little fun with them discussing it.

SB 515 with 28 cars, mostly boxcars today, past MP 22.5 with 5423 at 8:18 am.
