For a quick minute, Durand felt like the old Durand. 508 came over from Flint and held on #2 track at Durand for 251 to come off the holly, arriving at 16:45. (Note yard job followed 508 out of Flint to the Mundy wye). 149 then departs Flint, Desk 10 lines him down 1 track. Watching ATCS a race was on, in quick succesion 251 comes off the holly, as soon as 251 clears the holly 149 comes roaring by. Before 149 could clear, 508 starts into the high-wye for it's trip to Pontiac. It was exciting for those few minutes to see that.

Crazy! CN 2698 LHF started crossing at about 16:09. It made a few moves pulling further north, starting and stopping again along the way, but hasn't moved since 17:02, and it's still blocked at 17:44! Would take too long to count but it appears quite long. Wonder if it jumped a switch along the way. Seems like blocking Fort Street for over 90min would take priority to get it moving, so must be an equipment related issue somewhere along the line.Graham Halverson wrote: ↑Thu Dec 28, 2023 4:48 pmThere’s a baretable stopped over Fort Street in Trenton, with a CN GEVO long hood foward leading. Any idea what this is?

IC 2698 in CN paint is L506. The engine is out of water.Graham Halverson wrote: ↑Thu Dec 28, 2023 4:48 pmThere’s a baretable stopped over Fort Street in Trenton, with a CN GEVO long hood foward leading. Any idea what this is?
L506 finally started moving back south at 18:04, and cleared the crossing at 18:16.LansingRailFan wrote: ↑Thu Dec 28, 2023 5:57 pmGrandTrunkPontiac wrote: ↑Thu Dec 28, 2023 5:48 pmCrazy!

M385 has been at Ecorse since 15:30 waiting.
L573 with IC 3101 is tying their train down and jumping in CN 5708 to rescue L573 and that engine will lead L506 to Toledo. It looks like they are sending some empty bare tables to Toledo
