19:58 - L302-22 west thru Brighton with solo unit 3422 leading my count of 68 cars. CSXT 483389, ..305, ..356, ..141, and ..291 included.
I was surprised to have gotten all of those considering I was attacked by a wasp as the head end passed. Ruined an otherwise amazing pan-shot.
They were reported to have 56 cars earlier, it sounded like they were talking to the RN about having some extras, this when they were nearing South Lyon.

Yes, it turns out 67 was the correct count. The first time I counted, I had 67, then counted again and had 68, but upon seeing this and triple checking, L302-22 had 67 cars.

I figured it was in my best interest to not cause any more trouble
