29G got into Sterling a few minutes ago. They dropped the 3rd engine probably at North Yard. They had only NS 7696/4072 (DC to AC) patch

11N clear 11.4 at Wyandotte, no defects, 262 axles.

Alright, "Norfolk Southern 4000 (AC44C6M) - DC to AC Conversion (Blue)" is leading NS 120 to Oakwood Yard, Melvindale!!!! Is there a chance this power will head up the "Sterling Secondary" to Sterling Heights? It seems power from the old "Wabash®" ends up here! I've never caught a "DC to AC Conversion" unit! Man this would be cool! "Heritage Units" NS 4000 link: https://heritageunits.com/locomotive/detail/NS4000

It’s a 50/50 shot since it came up on 120. It could either go on NS 255 which is a Southbound OUT of Oakwood or it could go on 176 from Oakwood to Sterling. The call times of 255 and 176 are 1145PM and 501PM.

For NS 4000, It's currently lined up as leader on 176 with 9811 trailing....both facing east

Alright, 176 goes on duty at 5 p.m. Do they leave around 6? What time is it likely to be in Warren? NS "DC/AC" AC44C6M!!!! This is awesome!!!!

Lately it’s been 730-9PM at Warren.

I am going now to Milwaukee Junction! Hopefully it will be there before 7:00 p.m. NS "DC/AC" AC44C6M!!!!

Running meet between a loaded rack train with a single ns unit wb m1 and a loaded coal train with a couple orange bnsf eb m2 at 367 on the Chicago line (waterloo). Video when I get home to my fiber.

On the way to Sterling now.

15n clear 367 at 1500

21z clear 367 on 2 1545. 2 ns units, trailing one showing some heat damage.

61x clear 367 on 2 at 1617 with ns leading bnsf

Short nb through Fostoria with a single unit lhf. It had a few car loads towards the head end of what looked to be tanks. Possibly 13q since ive heard them talking a lot the last few minutes about getting through 0047

Nb or east, not sure what this line is considered, through Fostoria about 0845. I didnt catch the number but it was a solid stack train, ns leading the prr heritage unit.

NS 4004 is trailing on an extra train to Sterling tonight. Symbol is 104

121, NS 4355 & 9601 turning the corner at Delray.
