RandallG reported its cleared and open. Someone said the Mt. Clemens Sub is not in great shape now but that will change in October.

Got down there a little after 10:00 am and everything was
back on the track and Hulcher was packing up. The offending
autorack is at the team track platform in Mt.Clemens and the
Hulcher equipment looks like they're going to overnight there
at the parking lot. The consist continued on to Port Huron a
little before noon. Missed it since I had to get to the store.

There has been continued work on the Mount Clemens sub this
summer. Fresh ballast was dropped in and around Mt. Clemens
and a ballast cleaner has been operating out of the team track
for about 2 weeks and left town around last Wednesday.

I'll have a couple of pics later this evening.

I'm assuming that's what the Loram equipment that has been parked in Richmond is doing? I've noticed it for the past week or so. Wasn't sure what they were doing with it. Saw the UP autorack alone in MTC, too. Figured that was the one involved in the derailment.
