Train 515 with 5456 SB past MP 22.5 at 9:50 am with a long train of the usual loaded centerbeams, tank cars and covered hoppers. The platform car was on the rear today.

A 280-ish all racks train was SB past MP 22.5 around 1 pm.

At 4:05 pm, GT 4912 drifted SB past MP 22.5 lite, I presume for the daily container shuttle between Moterm and Pontiac. A bit early today. And 5456, the usual power lately, isn't back yet on 515.

And at 4:10 pm Train 371 is rolling NB past MP 22.5 with a 2500 CN leading NS 7624 and another CN with a long train.

Locomotive 5456 SB past MP 22.5 at 9 pm with a few cars and what I presume is a second 513 this evening, the mixed freight version with a different locomotive than the container shuttle had.

CN 2232

Edit to add:

391 Cleared the detector MP 59.9 at 12:13 AM 620 axles.

Second 513 last night came back to Pontiac around 2:30 am with 5456 and one car.

Amtrak 351 had a private dome car and open end business car on the head end of its train this morning.

[KC8RBK]

Wb by 205 at 0622. Shortish mixed freight. Cn wide cab leading 2124.

[Manistique]

SB passing MP 22.5 at 11:11 am with containers on the head end and racks on the tail end with a few mixed thrown in. I presume a late 116.

[Man o' War]

371 north through Royal Oak at 1700 with a UP SD70ACe and a Citirail Gevo.

L515 north through Royal Oak at 1715 with a GTW GP38-2 in GTW Paint

[Manistique]

Train 371 NB passing MP 22.5 at 5:25 pm with UP 8648 leading CREX 1504 "elephant" style on Main 2.

And as reported a bit earlier, 515 is heading back to Pontiac with 4912 and it just went by MP 22.5, barking up the Hill with a rather long train, right on 371's block on Main 2. And my guess is that both trains delayed Amtrak 355's departure out of Pontiac as it has to cross over Main 2 to Main 1.

M385 by North MOUNT at 18:56. CN/CN, 62 cars.
