I ended up coming home from college this past weekend where I’m spending a week with my family due to personal reasons, after visiting a friend who lives in Ferndale, I decided to stop at the Woodward Heights crossing for a few, where I managed to catch E251 by dumb luck with a true anything and everything consist, which is unusual for this (majority of the time) autorack heavy train, today’s 251 had lots of tanks, flat cars, and even some BLE ore hoppers!

171 cars. Lots of empty CenterBeam's, coil steel and ore cars along with loaded vehicle racks.

Nice Video David!
He was really moving along there. I caught a train a few months back at that very crossing.
Thanks for sharing.

251 is a Mess. Always a ton of Bad orders to kick out before its built in Flatrock. In Battle Creek it gets Dissected into like 5 to 8 tracks so you essentially become a switch crew. Love that run through Detroit and Royal Oak but that train sucks.
Mark it Zero.
