[CSXBOY]

A westbound CN auto rack train blasted through okemos at around 9:20 am with a Sd75I leading a SD70M-2. Symbol would be nice. I was told that E271 and a X271 are running today.

Eastbound CN train M396 with a gevo, BCOL unit, and Citirail unit is currently sitting at Okemos at 9:50 waiting for a westbound.
