SB 515 with 5430 and four or five boxcars for Chrysler Mount Clemens just passed MP 22.5 at 7:35 am. The first two boxcars were old blue GTW ones, the second with a huge woman's face painted on it by some local artist.

I caught CN 5430 Local SB on the Holly's Orion spur, after a pick-up from the Ferrous scrap yard at 13:43.

Uploaded 2 videos of it. One, coming under the Kennett Rd. Bridge and another of the train stopped on the Dixie Highway overpass.
