AA in AA

Yesterday while driving home from Saline I decided to drive through downtown AA. While on Main St I witnessed grain hopper crossing the road ahead of me. After a quick you turn I managed to get down by Crisler Center and the former Stadium Blvd bridge. The AA was coming through Ferry Yard. The train was 2370, 2368 and 1337 headed SB. I counted the first 24 or so cars, decided to get out of the car and take some pictures then counted 50 plus cars after I got back into the car. All of the cars were CSX system grain hoppers including a B&O and several ex-Family lines cars.
I would say that train was at least 100 cars long. I would not be shocked if that was a paid of 64 car trains together for a 128 car train. It easily reached way through Ferry Yard. I'm sure the people of AA were not happy when this came through just after 3pm.
