Q122 east Durand at 0948. CN Gevo, BCOL heritage

Anything heard headed Battle Creek way?

Listening to radio a bit, CN #5456 / R934 was doing typical local/yard switching work and I'm certain somewhere a couple times I heard the '502' symbol pointed out. Anyone else possibly listening who could confirm?

A different(?) EB at that sounded like they were set to proceed east from there. Not sure if Q116 as I heard Moterm discussed so they'd take Chicago wye at Durand SB

Eastbound by Trowbridge at 1300

399 west Durand at 1340 with a pair of Gevos.

492 east Durand at 1346 with a pair of Gevos.

116 just passed MP 22.5 on the Holly. Mostly racks with just a few containers on the rear.

This train originated out of Port Huron. Is it all Canadian racks or did they pick up in Flint?

It did not work Flint

Train sitting in Battle Creek right now with a pair of SD70M-2's bracketing a BC Rail blue Dash 9 pointed East. Lights are off but I believe he is waiting for X491 to head into the yard. This is as of 1702.
