A NB mixed freight with a single BNSF unit passed MP 22.5 on the Holly at 8:09 pm. Maybe an Extra 251? Not too long.

They flipped the power set off of L507 onto L501 in Flint and sent them west.
CN 2969/CN 2932 were WB M393 out of Battle Creek
CN 2980 was added to M301 in Battle Creek as it was a solo engine train. They had a big pickup to make in BC.
Always interesting to see how the power moves around.

22:30 - WB X491 with BNSF 6756 solo holding at CP Cedar.
22:30 - WB M301 with CN 2967/CN 2844 will take M1 at Mill and the proceed to Potterville and hold for EB X396
It looks like CN could probably squeak out at least one more EB out of Battle Creek ahead of Amtrak P364

WB M301 and WB X491 will be holding for a while as the next EB is lined. Since P364 is in Battle Creek, it is most likely next to head east.

WB M301 rolling thru Cory Yard and lined to Potterville
EB P364 lined out of BC, not yet to MP 204.42 cam tho.
P364 will follow EB X396 which is lined onto M2 at CP Cedar and then will take the siding in Shaftsburg and hold for P364
WB X491 is on M1 between Okemos and Cedar and most likely on the campus of MSU.

SB 515 passed MP 22.5 at 7:14 with 5430 again and eight boxcars for Chrysler (the last being an old "Golden West Service" one, which I think was a Southern Pacific slogan) and a few covered hoppers.

Re: CN Train Location Updates - July 2023
116 just rolled by MP 22.5 at 1:10 pm. I was wondering why the number of containers out back seems small lately.
NB 515 went by a few minutes before 116 did.
