390 and 392 at Cadillac engine shed . Several strings of LPG tank cars in North Yard. Some for the propane place and the others for the Kalkaska gas plant. A string of ex-sand covered hoppers and a couple plastic pellets covered hoppers.

Selma Yard has three tracks of coke hoppers and one track of mixed freight going south including what looked like a couple 2-bay covered hoppers.

By the engine shed is a tank car for transloading and three coke hoppers )repairs?).
