[bnsfben]

491 is in the yard at Pontiac and sounds like they will tie the drain down there, the crew is waiting on a ride back to Flat Rock.

I dont think so, something is lined for a northbound movement at Gaines. Unless it is a extra or something, it should be 491.

Something (491?) lined up to Pitt Junction at 8:23 P.M.

CN eastbound at Bancroft at 8:33 P.M. Not working Durand and not working Flint.

[GTWChris]

Ben,
It is 491, they left Pontiac about 40 minutes ago.

They can make it to Pontiac to Durand in 40 minutes! I believe you but, that is much quicker than I thought. It looks like he is lined to work the yard.
