08:05 - WB L501 with CN 2339/CN 8021/CN 8867/BCOL 4642 - 4642 is the last rwb dash 9wl in service i believe
- 8867/BCOL 4642 led an E271 that terminated in Flint yesterday

LansingRailfan, there are two Red/White/Blue BCOL C44-9Ws remaining. The other one is 4644! It would be nice to catch this though.

Stabbed by Amtrak 350 in Pontiac (running 30 minutes late) then came south shortly afterwards. It had the single IC black SD70 (I think) as power. I haven't seen one of those units on the Holly in a long time.

Illinois Central® SD70 #1038!!!! Train 116! Is it still working Moterm Yard, Ferndale, now after 4:30 p.m. OK, how long does it typically work there? Spotted on "Heritage Units" (by Renegade388) in Royal Oak at 3:14 p.m. Will this train still be at Moterm after 5 p.m.? WOW!!!!

IC 1038 H.U. link: https://heritageunits.com/locomotive/detail/IC1038

EDIT: Train 116 was already gone by the time I made it to Moterm south. Now, will this engine lead another train back tomorrow?
