South yard had this train pull down to Johnson Ave. for re-crew. I took the opportunity to drive over and get engine numbers. CN 8814 leading and BCOL 4607. it looked to be all auto racks. As of 3:56 AM they are good to depart Pontiac southbound.

I caught 502 at Airport Rd. at 6:48 PM. CN 2806, CN 3105.

391 is good to depart Pontiac northbound at 9:58 PM. The train must be in one of the spots where I can not hear them. I will post a lead unit number if/when I catch it.

391 is meeting 116 at Holly.

391 cleared detector MP 34.2 Northbound, at 10:14 PM 160 axels. IC 2701 leading.

I wonder what ended up happening? as I typed up that post 8814 and the dispatcher where discussing the signal at CP Johnson Ave. dropping. possibly due to a track light coming on at CP Raven. The went on to discuses which main to take at least down to Moterm. I shut the scanner down after this, so I am not sure myself.

116 clear of the detector MP 34.2 southbound at 11:10 PM, CN 2567 leading. No set off tonight but a pick uo of 10 cars at Pontiac. will re-crew at moterm.

Heard GTW 5936 calling in today at Cory sounds like he's now the Lansing Local (Switcher)

Looks like a new locomotive assigned to Pontiac for the local duty today. 4901 just drifted lite SB past MP 22.5 at 8:17 am and I presume it was Train 950.

Indeed he is. Came in on 502 on the 27th. Nice to see this beauty back in Lansing.

451 is getting back on the way again after having issues with the lead unit. they are just clearing the Chicago Wye at Durand as I type this. 502 is waiting for 451 to clear, before heading south.

Edit to add:

While working Draco the dispatcher called them and said " That there are 5 cars at Durand for pick up"
