Just got to thinking that I never have heard any references to intermodal leaving Moterm southbound with the exception of 533 taking some up the Mt. Clemons Sub.

Is there anything going south other than what 533 may take?

Train 116 just went SB past MP 22.5 at 6:16 am following Amtrak 351 down the Hill. From Jim's report above, 116 must have sat at Pontiac Yard for four hours or so before it was recrewed and sent south. It did have mixed freight on both ends today. I missed catching the southbound that met 391 at Ho...

Empty sand train (except for one car in the middle it looked) NB past MP 22.5 at 9:21 pm with a single CN zebra striped cowl as power. It may be 391 as it had its usual engineer.

Has loaded intermodal up front.

391 is meeting a southbound at Holly again tonight, I have not heard a symbol but my guess is 116.

I caught 391 at Williams Lake Rd at 12:45 AM. CN 5652 solo.

After reading GTW6401 post above this one I believe that the northbound I heard earlier was 371.

I caught what I believe to be 502 at Williams Lake Rd at 9:41 PM. CN 2815, CN 3115. As I sat down to post about 502 a northbound set off the hot box detector at 34.2. My guess is that this was 391, they cleared the detector at 10:11 PM. 527 axels. Edit to add: NB cleared the detector MP 59.9 at 10:5...

I missed catching 116 tonight but they are good to depart Pontiac at1:56 AM CN 2407 Leading.
Sounds like they will bring the power off 116 back to Pontiac after working Moterm.

I caught 280 at Williams Lake Rd at 1:35 AM. UP 4083 solo.

No official starting time or end. I plan to arrive morning hours, leave sometime after dinner.

Great thanks.

For what it is worth 4616 is sitting at the Pontiac Amtrak station. It is parked adjacent to the platform, right behind Amtrack #57.

502 cleared the detector MP 34.2 about 8:05 PM

Just going off of memory it was a CN 2413 leading.

I caught 391 at WilliamsLake Rd at 12:56 AM had a few empty intermodal cars toward the front.
