I caught 116 at Airport Rd CN 5451, CN 2033. at 10:53 PM. yes that horn did sound very odd.

[Dan Cluley]

There is an eastbound going through East Lansing at 04:40. One CN engine on the point, and BNSF 8414 mid-train. Moving quite slowly, and on track 1, so I expect a westbound shortly.

CN 2815 & 3053 west at 04:50. Possibly 399.

Train 451 going by MP 22.5 at 12:12 pm with narrow nosed 2033 leading 5451.

Train 950 with just a couple cars and 6225 just went SB past MP 22.5 on the Holly. A bit earlier than usual this morning.

[kc8bdr]

The signal on the north side of Williams Lake Rd. was red. I figured I had missed a northbound or A southbound was on the way. I was running a bit late for an appointment so did not investigate further. Got to the traffic light at Dixie Hwy. Thought I heard a horn, checked rearview mirror, and saw a southbound with 2 CN engines. I was too far to get numbers.

[atrainguy60]

A CSX yn2 engine and UP are leading an autorack train south down the Holly Dub right now. It was under US 23 in Fenton at 6:18pm.

[Manistique]

At 7:30 pm Train 391 went NB past MP 22.5 with a single locomotive as power.

What might be an early 502 is SB past MP 22.5 at 8 pm. The second unit is a Union Pacific one.

CN 2844 & CN 3054? good to head south from Pontiac. 9:21 PM
