Per ATCS Flint Sub, E251 likely is near mp217.6. There was another NB off Holly about to turn west in Durand off the Chicago Wye, so I make an assumption an X491 went through.

Clear mp221 at 07:43

Confusions eased. O927 weed sprayer from Holly sub by mp205 cam at 16:59.

At 17:23, R934 (CN #5487) doing Cory/Snow work, got it passing by mp216 on Thorofare. In that time, solo and lite CN #8929 WB (K271) on main passed by which came from Flint sub.

I caught southbound train 385 in Mount Clemens on Father's Day, June 18!!!! It had CN ES44AC #2935 and CN (ex CitiRail) ES44AC #2755! The "CitiRail" name is still visible (black line through name) and spray painted black "CN" and numbers! I thought that was interesting! All others I have witnessed were painted out in silver and no spray paint! These are at least something different on CN, but are the replacements for the "Cowls" and other Dash 8s!

This power returned north on train 384 yesterday, June 19th! Check out this video (by mywayphoto) of 384, Wyandotte, MI: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syqSN7iTxBE

[GTW6401]

515 at Royal Oak with CN 5430. They were a few minutes behind Amtrak 350

[Manistique]

251 by the fort St cam at 12:26 CN+BNSF+CN

Passed MP 22.5 at 3:15 pm working hard up the Hill with a long train, the BNSF unit in the middle.

116 is now passing at 4:28 pm with that single BNSF unit as power, which is odd as 116 usually is reserved for CN power with foreign power for the 280's of the world. Short train with just a few containers on the rear of the train.

[GTW6401]

507 arriving at Moterm. CN 5740 and 2344.
