399 & 395 returned to Cadillac at 5pm. 2 Tanks, 3 Empty Pulpwood Cars, 11 STLX & 1 HMBX Covered Hoppers.
Currently switching cars into Selma Yard. Spotted the HMBX and 4 STLX Covered Hoppers in the industry just south of 10th St then tied down at the engine house.

Great question, go look and let us know, LOL. Normally arrived about this time (give or take) past the depot. There are 2 empties at Amerhart to pick up as well.
