Eb rack train with a single ns unit by 205 at 1436 This train is passing MP 22.5 on the Holly at 7:16 pm. And as the above autorack train is SB on Main 2, a NB container train with two or three BNSF units is passing it on the other side on Main 1. Maybe 149 reroute or 514 with odd power (never saw ...

328 at Pontiac and is good to head south with a fresh crew. CN 2859 Leading.

391 is good to depart northbound from Pontiac at 1:40 AM I did not catch the leading engine number. 391 will meet 116 at Holly.
116 has CN 5664 leading.

502 is good to depart Pontiac southbound at 12:12 AM. CN 2851 leading.

I went and caught 2 more trains at Williams Lake Rd.

#1 was 280 I missed seeing the power.
#2 was southbound and all intermodal I am guessing "today's" 148. Had CN 2707 leading.

I went over to my spot just off of Williams Lale Rd

#1 was 148 at 11:44 PM CN 8804, CN 2454.

#2 was 116 at 12:21 AM CN 2173, CN 8011.

#3 Should be 391 at 1:07 AM. CN 2222, BCOL 4654.

Well, the dispatcher just told someone (I did not catch who, possibly 391) they would be waiting on 148 and 116. Edit to add: It will be 148 first and 116 will follow. A train just turned from west to south at Durand at 22:45. That's probably the Q148 from this morning that got stranded near Port H...

If they have to detour 148/9 for a few days I wonder if they'll change where 514 stages cars for them. Years ago I saw cuts of loaded wells being swapped at snow but that was way before I was fluent enough in operations to know why or by what train. I also was wondering about 148/9. If CN routes th...

I caught what I suspect was 502 at Airport Rd. at 9:33 PM. CN 3022 CN 3852

Haa, OK, that makes sense. Thanks.

I just missed catching that at Williams Lake Rd.
But did catch what I thought was 514 there at about 9:00 PM. two CN engines (No BLE power) and all intermodal.

I have the Durand scanner feed going 148 is holding at Durand for extra 307, which has a dimensional load of some sort.

X307 has CN 2247.

A Southbound train cleared the detector MP 34.2 at 3:09 AM missed catching axle count. CN 2682 leading. Could be the same train KC8RBK reported above or 116.
However, CN 2682 is picking up 1600 feet at Pontiac I think it was 24 cars.

Windmill train westbound through Durand at 1:00 AM.
