Roger that, thanks for the info.
IN ADDITION......
Anyone on the Holly sub from Durand to Pontiac.... 280 with a string of autoracks and 2 U.P. units went by me about 45 mins ago in E. Lansing. He is in Durand now and about to go down the Holly to pontiac.

ALSO, for anyone off to the east of Flint, etc, 398 rolled by Lansing a few mins ago headed your way. 3 Units with CN 5377 leading, a former I.C. in CN paint as the second unit but didnt catch his number nor the 3rd units' number.

Finally, anyone down near battle creek, and out towards chicago a 599 departed Lansing, I wasnt at the yard to see the engine but heard on the scanner it was a BNSF... not sure if he had additional units.

491 is coming into Birmingham at 0240. I believe CN 2533 is leading.

491 has finally just made it to Durand at this hour. However, 490 still has not left Lansing. There is now a westbound lined through Durand from Flint, what I assume is 149.

Additional interesting info.... Last night's 490 is "humungous" according to TD2 Andrea. He's just about to depart Lansing. He's meeting 397 out by E.Lansing. I wondered when I was out there all last night where the heck 490 was. Im wondering what held him up so long.

For anyone out near Port Huron, Canada, an eastbound just went thru Durand, havent heard a symbol but think it might be either 302 or 398.

And for those in Lansing, Btl Creek, 301 met that eastbound in Durand
Im in East Lansing and will update this post if 301 has any interesting power or cars on him.

301 just passed an eastbound in e.lansing, again not sure the symbol for the e.b. because I havent heard TD 2 yet. For those in Battle Creek or to the west, 4 units on 301....

CN 5613
CN 8009
CN 5733
IC 1038 (still in IC paint)

No unusual or highly interesting freight on it.
