533 CN 8920 is now holding south on the east track of the Clem at the Junction. 533 crossed an unusual northbound mixed freight train on the west track of the Clem in the North Yard which I just caught the very end of, it should be approaching Nolan by now.
502 cleared the detector MP 34.2 southbound at 7:48 PM, with 556 axels. CN 2421 leading. They have set off of 56 cars 3800 feet, They do have a pick up but I managed to miss the number.
I heard south yard answering a CN 3065 I could not hear the response from the crew, but this should be 391.
391 has the trailing unit off 502 yesterday. I bet 3073 is trailing on 391 tonight.

Well 391 gave their mark up it is CN 3065 solo tonight.
Weekend 950/515 just heading past MP 22.5 on way back to Pontiac. Very long train with a long string of empty well cars at the end. 3129 was working hard up the hill.
I saw one train at the MTM station, Mt. Clemens today! I photographed southbound train 533 at 3:22 p.m. It had CN SD70M-2 #8920 and two cars! This was not the usual "Double-Stacks!!!!!" I heard on the scanner that it was switching with this "BIG CN!!!!" They came by "Fast" with two empty "Center Beam" flatcars!!!! I guess instead of running "Light" to Ferndale─they switched someplace!

I'm seeing updates that there has been a derailment on the CN in Canada and trains are being rerouted through Michigan. M307 should run tonight, as should a couple of intermodal trains.
According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.

Only derailment thru search I could find was a 15 car derailment. Any details on what line this was on such as Toronto to Vancouver or what? How many additional reroutes might we see? Thanks for the info.
