EB solo-CN L501 by the 205 cam - whole lotta covered hoppers for Durand - at 20:00

Wondering, has L500 been abolished? If so, where does L501 start/end now?

Racer did a wonderful job with Southeast Michigan CSX, I can add just a few things: - Q131 uses the Lincoln Secondary frequently, whereas Q132, Q150, and Q151 typically do not. - This means you might want to break the Plymouth/Toledo segment into two segments so you can "assign" Q131 to the Lincoln:...

I can help for the general Southeast Michigan area. Let's start with Norfolk Southern: Detroit Line, MP 20 (end of Conrail ownership) to Monroe: 10N SB 11N NB 20N NB 21N SB 31M SB 331 SB 332 NB 358 NB Sometimes another empty autorack NB for Sterling Yard (used to be 29G frequently, but now I'm not s...

The mainline was rerouted to the current alignment between Oak and Delray in the early 1890s so the railroad could access Fort Street Union Depot.

Yep everyone is all over this one. Logan St, Stubnitz Springs

It is in Adrian. Can anyone name the street or the industry that was served here? (Bonus hint: visit this site:

Nope, not in Wayne County. But still in Southeast Michigan.

I haven't posted one of these in a long time. Let's try this one:

Never watched Legend of Zelda, but watched lots of Beavis and Butthead back in the day. Great video, thanks for posting this!

Doesn't NS work Monroe and Trenton, with CN working River Rouge?

Speak of the devil. Another 274 ran early to Pontiac this morning. I’ll be opening up a Corrected Stand somewhere along the flint sub. This 274 was stacks and racks akin to a Q116. Not sure what they’re doing W these symbols right now but they might be changing. I read more about this on FB today. ...

I heard the dispatcher tell 251 they were waiting for 514 and 274 before departing. The train was intermodal and and 25 empty autoracks. I assume the guys working know the symbols so I went with it. 251 had CN 2257, BCOL 4611 and BCOL 4602. The GTW 5933 was setout at Pontiac also. 274 went to Sarni...

SB D735 just cleared 7 Mile Rd. BNSF 5984+9309+167 cars. He actually called out D736. Perhaps the SB version of 735 is now 736 again as it was a few years ago.

Yes I have heard the SB use D736 for a month or two. These trains now sometimes work Chevy Yard, as does D714. Not sure why.

Also of note, Q200 and Q201 appear to be gone, but Q150 and Q151 have returned.

U756 at Emmons @ 11:05. CN 2420 3 of 3 I think you meant Emmett, MI on the Flint Sub. It may be somewhere down by Detroit. That sand train goes down the holly. Does anyone know where it ultimately goes? Emmons Rd is in Wyandotte. The 756 train goes to Toledo, then to Wheeling & Lake Erie I believe.

I saw a Q150 on Monday afternoon at Delray, heading to Livernois. All intermodal. Does this mean that Q150 and Q151 are back? If so, did they replace Q200/Q201? I'm also curious if Q508/Q509, Q567/Q568, and Q214/Q215 are all still regularly heading in and out of Rougemere?

EJE 676 just brought 3 hoppers on to the Lapeer siding. Currently running around cars near Mott Community College. 18:33. They are probably for Lapeer Industrial Railroad. There were a few cars to pick up right along the curve at the north end of the LIRR.

CN 8878 & 3176 going into Moterm. Possibly a long hood forward Intermodal going north later this afternoon...... Watching ATCS, something went south out of Moterm and is now lined north up the Mount Clemens Sub. Unless I wasn't paying close enough attention and something else completely different h...

I don't know about this train, just that CSX uses Z symbols to identify other companies' trains when they run on CSX-dispatched lines.

E275 ready to head west at West Tappan at 1945.
