Would be an Albion grain train going by Wyandotte. There are a few grain trains listed in the wiki section on this site, most of which run between Albion and Valdosta, Georgia.

These trains operate to the Anderson's elevator in Albion.

The train should have been going south. Most NS grain trains have even numbered symbols for the loads.

I spotted eight NS locomotives at NS Jackson Yard at high noon today. Saw GP40-2 3048, SD40-2 3231, GP59 4614, high nose GP38-2's 5106 and 5209, GP38-2 5346, C40-8W 8343 and C44-9W 9739. Not a bad haul for the Michigan Line, although I know everything was tied down for the Holiday no doubt.
