Power notes out of Sarnia:

E274 (yesterday's thru MI) had CN 8962/CN 8933
X396 (yesterday's thru MI) had CN 5750/CN 5772
Z148 has CN 5441/CN 5689/CN 2570 leading. This was 2/2 on the SB L514 last night so it must have been picked up in Flint.
**when Z148 was by the 205 cam it only had CN 5689/CN 2570

Power notes out of Sarnia:
Z148 has CN 5441 leading. This was 2/2 on the SB L514 last night so it must have been picked up in Flint, possibly with IC 2722.

Aaaaand from what I’m hearing there’s no power in flint to cover the run so there’s a chance 514 may not be running tonight.

[GTW6401]

Amtrak 350 at Clay Avenue Detroit. 4602.

515 with CN 5436 is at Milwaukee Junction.

IC 2722 is still there, they only picked up CN 5441. There are also E271s that terminate in Flint and they could get a second unit off of that. Do not despair.
