The last update I heard was 391 was heading back to their train but had to wait for Amtrak which is running late. Also GTW 4618 is heading to east yard with 30 some cars after Amtrak gets by.

What I believe to be 391 is rolling by the hotbox detector at 34.1 with 391 axels.

2 hotboxes detected first axel 48 left side second at axel 50 left side.. have not heard acknowledgment on the defects yet.

391 confirmed, they are in contact with the dispatcher in regards to the defects.

Well they walked the train and did not find anything and should be on the move shortly. 391 is to set off one car at Durand and it turns out to be the car that tripped the hotbox detector.

Also 490 dose not have any work at Durand and will be meeting 391 there.

Be on the lookout for CN/GTW 6401 Operation lifesaver to be on 391 later today (2/12/10..This unit took a 506 in to flatrock and was not on 386 tonight..So 391 is most likely where it will wind up...

CN X277 ran this evening with all empty racks from canada for flatrock CN 5260 and CN 5287 for power :)

CN Job 783 also ran tonight taking 129 loads of coal from Lang yard to South yard for detroit edison.CN 5541 and CN 5529 for the power.

CN 386 has the CN 5733 in the lead with CN 56?? and GTW 6420 (Blue).Very nice train

CN 387 was on its with toward the shared assets around 1am..kinda late for 387
