Cn 5677 & 2646 by 205 at 1842 eb with a manifest. Lots of old lrs boxcars and loaded lumber cars.
501 should be in to work cory soon and it sounded like maybe 2 locals working there. Looks like 492 is meeting one at cedar. This last eb looks like it's headed to work snow. Wb at flint amtrak station lined into the yard. Another light from east lansing to bancroft but im not sure for what

Re: CN Updates March 2021
Those signals are funny. I have waited numerous times for over an hour when the signal is green and nothing. 482 on Friday had 5 locos also

Re: CN Updates March 2021
M356 that had CN 3115 (BC Rail HU) terminated in Battle Creek.
About M356: Usually terminates at Markham. If it is mostly empty autoracks, it will continue East to BC and sometimes as far as Cory Yard. If it's mostly full autoracks, it will be reshuffled in Markham and continue as E274.
Trains that originate in BC:
EB: L500, A450
WB: E27161, M393
There's also an EB empty windmill train headed to BC. If it comes with BNSF power, it will need CN engines swapped that have microwaves, refrigerators and soft serve ice cream machines (new in 2021).
There's also a E274 that is OD in BC. That could be a remarshalling of the train as well.
