WB solo e251 just took the chicago Wye at Durand with CN 3055 at 16:34
?? I'm at Durand now and that went through over an hour and a half ago.
Sorry. Was watching cam history but posted actual time. Just pregaming before the derby.
How’s Durand been?
Ah, no problem. I left at 5, 4 trains in about 3 hours, not bad at all.

Did you see this one?
17:10 - EB 2-unit A450 HU the 205 cam with Lansing set off on the head, then Pontiac/FR/Lang traffic followed by some Durand cars and then a 104-car empty G886 for GLC.
The EB G886 was terminated in BC and tacked onto this A450.
104 Parrish & Heimbecker grain cars.

What I'm guessing is l500 by 205 at 0934. I heard cn mechanical on the radio but not what was said but from the way this train is crawling I'll assume it was them. Cn 8916/5612/2679. That 2679 showing some heat damage. Really neat collection of cars on here. Auto racks, gons, lots of 2 bay hoppers, some cn ballast hoppers that were tarped. This train came from working Cory. Video should be up shortly.
