Looks like you had a decent hour, OGauge.
4907 with the RBox hi-cubes could be lumber or aluminum ingots. Within the last year or so aluminum ingots have been coming in 60' hi-cube box cars often RBox rather than the 50' standard height box cars of CN and family name.

Metro and Royal Oak Wastepaper are the most common destinations for these TBOX hi-cubes along the Holly Subdivision.4907 with the RBox hi-cubes could be lumber or aluminum ingots.

There is parking in front of Wolverine Solutions on Clay St to wait for train on the Holly Sub. There also is a dirt lot on the south side of the street next to the diamond of the Sugarhouse Wye and Conrails North Yard branch. Very visible and accessible. No problems as long as one stays off of RR property. Safer area of the city also.
