FYI - Stock Building Supply on CN's Mt. Clemen's Sub by 21 Mile Rd. is closing. It originally opened in the early 1980's by Erb Lumber and in it's heyday received on average 15 cars per week. Stock acquired it a few years ago and lately was receiving 6-8 per week. The poor economy finally caught up with the yard and they'll shut down soon.

CN 383 had CN 2612 and 2578 tonight and did a setout of intermodal cars at East Yard around 7 tonight.

[GTW6401]

The 104 job had the 4910 again today. They returned to East Yard around 3 this afternoon and made a move onto the spur near 9 Mile and Hilton Road to deliver a boxcar to the industry there.

For what it might be worth 490 rolled past the Hotbox detector at 34.2 about at 12:02 A.M. and was calling west tower a moment later.
