Another busy moment at King Rd on Dearborn Sub.

A southbound being led by 49?? with mixed freight. I think this is NS transfer train.

A northbound in the hole led by SD40-2 (I think) with long string of vehicle racks on head end. I think this is a Dearborn Ford plant train.

King Rd switcher tied down and no body home. I don't know if this job runs every day. It seems to take empty 86' box cars top NS interchange and back.
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...

OK, This morning at about 7:30 What I BELEIVE to be a 397 went west from Emmett.

Followed by the CN TRACK TEST CAR, Headed to MARKHAM YARD - TRACK SPEED, TESTING.

521 went west to Midwest Lumber.

765 Hit the Yard around 9AM BTW this may indicate that there WAS a 766 the other day.

JUST AFTER 765 cleared McAllister, TODAYS 766 went East.

Now 765 is leaving to head west from here.

Now there is 399 in the yard
Mark it Zero.

two 397's in one day? 332 appears to be taking 398's traffic to Toronto. Aaron what kind of traffic was on 332, did you get a good look?

766 has the BNSF 6175 and BNSF 9667 they are going onto the Shoreline now. What sounded like 251 is ready to depart Pontiac but there is a train waiting for a crew with the CN 2506 at Andersonville, I think that train is going south.
