385, CN 5796, is okay from South Haven to Nolan at 1508. Radio blocking behind 533, CN 8908. Sounds like 524, GTW 4900, is at Mt. Clemens and will wait for 385 to continue their work.

I caught 280 at Williams Lake Rd. at 6:48 AM

[Manistique]

That 280 just went SB past MP 22.5 at 8:41 am with only BNSF 9112 as power, not two locomotives as it had when it arrived in Pontiac per earlier reports. Short train about half mixed freight.

Right behind it is 950 with 4901 at 8:52 am.

Train 515 with 4916 SB past MP 22.5 at 11:00 am.

Train 451 NB past MP 22.5 at 1:30 pm with a single 2900 series locomotive.

And Train 515 is returning to Pontiac NB past MP 22.5 at 4:41 pm with 23 cars.
