371 made a crew change at Opdyke road. The new crew is on board and the train is starting to head north again.

Drove through Hamtramck Thursday around 12:30pm on my way to the Toledo area. Saw lots of track equipment from East Yard to Milwaukee Jct. The crews were parking their vehicles in the old B.O.C. lot. When I came back through later that night, the track equipment was parked in B.O.C.

James, this one's for you:
322 is leaving Sarnia (eastbound). Dispatcher said he wouldn't have any meets until at least London. He has 2 units for power, but I didn't catch which ones.

GreatLakesRailfan · Sat Aug 18, 2012 4:06 pm

Currently in Port Huron:

385 in the yard. Monster train. 3 units. Trailing power includes BCOL 4618.

394 just passed through the tunnel to Canada. Had BCOL 4611 trailing. Also had a lot of empty HTTX flatcars.

396 currently in yard. Don't know much about him, only that the crew that came in on it isn't taking it to Canada. It will wait at least until 394 is clear of the tunnel.

It also sounds like there's quite a bit of activity across the river with a 511? south of the yard and CSX switching taking place.

Also, there might be a 395 around somewhere too, although it could have been a reference to 385.
