Flat bed semi load of rail wheel sets waiting to unload at the car shop. Orange EJE 661 resting near the yard tower, CN paint IC 6100 looked to be getting ready to head west with a train, and gray GTW 5947 waiting to pull one east. Quite a mix this morning!
Anyone near Battle Creek, as much as possible, keep me posted on the where abouts of EJ&E 661. I'm planning to go see it tomorrow on Saturday (6/10/17) to go see it around 9am. Thank ya much!

451 with CN 2579 leading has permission through a work zone from mileposts 9.8 to 11. Guessing that is on the Holly Sub as they were told equipment is working at Hilton Rd.

533 came through New Haven at 6:51 with 75 cars. Not quite sure what happened with 385, as 533 definitely wasn't stopping for a meet at Haven. :?: :? :lol:
