09:33 - EB passing MP 225, lined all the way to E Durand as of writing this post. I did not see the power but it sounded like an M-2 leader, and had manifest traffic.
10:12 - At Bancroft, now lined to W Flint.
12:57 - M302 thru MP 225 on M2. 3262 and 3294 leading, no DPU on this M302, nor on the M302s from the last few days.

OH MAN! This is cool Manistique. Are the "Charter Cars" going to be taken to storage? Are these ones that were spotted by JT Railfan going south in Wyandotte Friday Sept. 13th? Why did they head south and now south again six days later? Where do they store them? Did the AMTK "Wolverine" tack these on for a few days? I did not see any posts about that. How could we get earlier "Heads Ups" before these movements happen? I would love to catch this!!!!

JTRailfan's post from last Friday:

07:10 IC 3129 and 2 gray passenger cars SB at Oak St, Wyandotte

[ferndalebuck]

Q116 with 5784 in the lead (followed by an M2) arriving Moterm now

2 boxcars, handful or so of racks, and lots of stacks

[LansingRailFan]

WB L543 with CN 2264/CN 2224 clear WE Cory Yard after picking up two tracks. They’ll turn in Battle Creek and return with cars for Lansing

[David Collins]

There’s been a NB lined up on M2 through Royal Oak for the last 45 minutes. Betting it’s 513 but they never take this long to come back north after getting their light to go home.

[Dan Cluley]

Eastbound through Lansing at 22:55

CN 3224 4951 4952 4953 & 4954 ? and mid train 3107

The 4 trailing locos were maroon 4 axle units with spray painted CN lettering & numbers

[LansingRailFan]

22:27 - EB M394 with CN 3224/CN 4951/CN 4950/CN 4952/CN 4953 and mid DPU CN 3107 by the Charlotte cam

CN 4950-3 are newly purchased GP-38s from HLCX/Helm Leasing.

23:02 - M394 thru MP 225 on M2. All four units have non-turbo exhausts, but the first two have three radiator fans. Evidently not GP40s, anyone have any information on that?

Man, I totally missed train o998 as it headed north across 13 Mile, Roseville around 3:15 p.m., Friday Sept 20! How come there were no "Updates" on this train? I heard a horn, then rode my bike to see what it was (from new house in Fraser) and it was gone! GEEZ!!!! I knew exactly what it was! Will this train come back?
