CSX M322-31 just cleared North Novi. It was so long I got a headache counting the cars. It was at least 200-210 cars, if not more. Engines were 5333 and 5421, both struggling up the grade.

Q150-31 cleared Plymouth's Toledo Wye at 6:30PM. Power was a pair of CSX ES44s. Lots of empty well cars towards the tail end.
"...and I was in the front and Matt grabbed and pulled my ears from behind me and made horsey sounds."

T895 loaded coal northbound for St. Clair cleared North Novi at 9:18 PM. Engines were 752, 702, both ES44AH's, really chugging up the grade. Southbound lined, and looks like D737-31 wants to come south as well. Pretty good day on the Saginaw Sub.

I caught this one last night in Rose Township near the Milford Rd crossing. Not moving fast at all...in fact almost sounded like they were struggling when they came around the curve just before the crossing at Demode Rd.
