There was a string of tank cars on the Faurecia spur, just east of State Street (right there) about half an hour ago.

I think they've been there since shortly after the last shipments were taken from the plant

Indeed they have been and still are. 1337 and that wamx painted unit (one day I will learn its number) currently tied down on the branch in saline. Probably waiting to make a run at interchange this evening. 2368 was with them NB but ran back south.

AA 3927 and 1337 are tied down on the connecting spur at Pittsfield. Last I checked there were three cuts of cars at Osmer with one in the SB position for the AA.

3927 and 1337 in the North facing position, 2373 and 2368 on the rear pretty sure 2368 was the SB leader. Heard them sounding the RS3L at 0815 for a crossing southward of Ann Arbor.

In the chat board I thought someone said they were switching the cement plant. They stopped producing cement 5 or 6 years ago but they might be using the silo's as a distribution point. Did you happen to see what was being switched?
