491 is coming up to Clay Avenue in Detroit. Power is the CN 5546, 2407, GTW 4914 and GTW 4622. They were still at Moterm doing a set out when I left.


384 at Nolan 9:27pm - CN 5556 leading.
385 at Nolan 9:30pm - CN 2226 leading.

491 was awaiting a recrew at Moterm when I left there at 5:45pm. 5558 was leading.

[GTW6401]

GTW 4920 just cleared a track warrant on the Mt. Clemens Sub, and 144 and 384 should be heading north pretty soon from the sound of things. 385 went south from Milwaukee Junction about an hour ago so they aren't going to be in the those guys' way.

Ok, spotted a Yellow on a searchlight on Pennsylvania Road, I believe in Romulus crossing NB around 9:30p. As I came back by at 10:15p a Southbound was on the main and the Yellow for the siding was still lit. Couldnt tell what it was. This is on the former DT&I, I could make out the Concrete Arches.

491 had the 2600 and 2651 today, and did an intermodal pickup at Moterm. They took off heading north from there just before 7:00.

The 5854 seems to have found a home on the locals based out of East Yard lately since I saw them on the Mt. Clemens sub near Nolan earlier this afternoon, and then at Moterm this evening when pulling in just after 491 departed.

Amtrak 350/355 had the 26 and 90200 today, while 352 had the 128 and 127.

382 - CN 2671 leading and received their track warrant at East Yard @ 5:15pm
383 - CN 8802 leading and heading south from Delray around 6:45pm.

144 was Y-ing their power at Milwaukee Junction about 40 minutes ago.

CN 5626 North received a track warrant at 16:40 in East Yard. Should be meeting 385 at Haven.

FWIW - Inland Plywood in Pontiac had a boxcar today, haven't seen one there in a while.

Good to hear and good to know. Back in the 1990's they would get 1-3 cars per week.

[GLC 392]

GLC waited for 491 to switch durand yesterday before they could head south, two dash 9's set off 4 or 5 cars.

[GTW6401]

Train 385 with CN 2432 is clear of Nolan at 18:45.

CN 8016 North is at East Yard and obtained a track authority to Haven. 18:46.

Sounds like 384 just departed from Flat Rock.

[GTW6401]

CN 490 is at Milwaukee Junction, going the old way due to track work near the Conrail Rouge bridge. CN 2226 is leading. Saw them gliding through Royal Oak as was leaving my apartment. But at least I saw the back half of the train.

Hey everyone. I had posted about 396 this afternoon then took it down. When I was listening to the scanner feed and watching ATCS around 2 the dispatcher told 396 he would be detoured down the holly and to mt clemens. however, this changed as he then sent him off to flint. i found it interesting at the time and wondered what the heck was going on.

[GTW6401]

491 is just coming into Birmingham with the IC 1002 leading.

[GTW6401]

384 is approaching Haven with the CN 5648 leading, and will be getting onto the Flint Sub once Amtrak 364 gets past Tappan.

385 is southbound on the Shoreline with the CN 8815.
