Looked like they were going to meet Amtrak at Okemos.

Is that #764 coal train for Consumers Power in Bay City?

I did not get the numbers either, but the trailing unit on 116 was one of the black IC SD70s

Returning Train 950 working hard up the Hill past MP 22.5 with 23 cars, many loaded lumber flats, at 4:10 pm.

And right behind 950 is returning 515 with three cars passing MP 22.5 at 4:19 pm.

What I presume is Train 502 SB past MP 22.5 at 9:10 pm. Over and out.

[Dan Cluley]

An eastbound that I assume is 116 is going through East Lansing at 21:22.

5609 solo, stacks on the head end, and a bunch of general freight behind, rather than the other way around like usual.

Have a set off of 9 cars, and pick up of 5 cars at Pontiac. Sounds like crew swap at Moterm tonight.
