WB w CN 5765 is stopped at Hagadorn road with a flat spot on the 45th Axel. Power has cut away and is protecting the shove of M394, led by CN 3005. Overheard on the scanner.
Ok to clear this up. It sounds like the WB is on M1.
M394 was approaching and had to stop. Now they need it to shove back. So the power from the WB cut off and will protect the shove. Except now they can’t get lights to work at CP Cedar for M394 to shove and the WB to protect. Desk 8 is having a fit. Supervisors are called. Meanwhile, trains are starting to pile up.
Traffic is stacked on either side. The light power is now back w the WB train. Total mess

L501 is the train that has broke down - CN 5765 leading solo.
There’s two WBs that will pass it and then EB M394 and EB P364 will go.

The light engine from 501 is CN 5765. It just went East across Washington Ave (MP 220) on the thorofare at 22:25.
Once it is beyond Trowbridge on main 1, then 394 will cross over 2 to 1 at Cedar and park between Trowbridge and Cedar on main 1.
In addition to CN 3005 &? on the head end, 394 has DPU 2834 mid train

From the Scanner Feed:
2:32 - Westbound through Lansing - I believe this is train 301
2:54 - 148 eastbound through Lansing
3:06 - Westbound through Lansing - This should finally be the 501 that had the problem last night.

E251 recrewed at Ferndale. No work or stopping in Pontiac today. Good because the Flint sub is dead today and rivaling the CSX Plymouth sub.
