I was driving around town when 251 and 508 were there. 251 had taken the siding to bypass the High Wye, allowing 508 to enter the Holly Sub main simultaneously. I thought it was kinda cool to see, it's been awhile since I'd seen that siding used for a meet.

CN 8896
CN 8809

Several box cars up front. Very mixed freight

Just passed MP 22.5 on the Holly at 5:45 pm so 251 took a record long time to get this far.

[Manistique]

What was probably 450 just went SB past MP 22.5 on the Holly at 7:55 pm.

[LansingRailFan]

20:15

EB w CN 2867 +1 leading thru Trowbridge
WB w CN 3065 +1 intermodal thru Trowbridge

[LansingRailFan]

What was probably 450 just went SB past MP 22.5 on the Holly at 7:55 pm.

Q116. I erroneously called A492 A450 earlier since the train was almost entirely an A450. They ran it all to Flint for L508 to take down tomorrow.

[LansingRailFan]

15:30 - WB Q147 thru Mill w pair of CNs

20:15 - EB M394 w CN 2867 leading thru Trowbridge

SB M383 yesterday had CN 3831/CN 3023 (EJ&E HU) and mid DPU CN 2811.

Today’s NB M382, departed 5 hours ago from Lang Yard, has CN 3023 leading the other two units.
