Speaking of autoracks, I haven't seen a 280-type autorack train go by in weeks. And after having two, sometimes three a day for most of the summer.
There was one by 205 about 1225 last night with a single bnsf. I forgot to post it. Who knows where it ended up though.

From ATCS, a train (unknown if it is from Toledo or Flat Rock), just left the Shoreline Sub at the electric lock called "South Edison", between Chapman and Rodney at milepost 34.39. Anyone by any chance know what train this might be?

Train 371 slowly going NB past MP 22.5 at 4:23 pm with a CN GE leading a repainted BCRail cowl and a 5700.

Train 514 with 4912 and 5844 today SB past MP 22.5 at 5:20 pm with a few containers.

CN 5456 just went SB past MP 22.5 with one tank car at 5:39 pm. Probably an evening 513 working south of Pontiac today. Out in front of Amtrak 355.

Well, "out in front of Amtrak 355" was an understatement as when I thought I heard 355 going by SB at its usual time of 5:45 pm, to my surprise it was 350 heading NB to Pontiac, 3.5 hours late. Two Chargers again.

M385 was by Eveland curve (MTC 39.6) at 16:13. CN/CN, 130 cars.

M382 through Belle River Valley (MTC 41.3) at 16:58. CN/CN, 96 cars. Shortest manifest this week.

Beautiful day in the valley for railfanning - lots of folks at the Lodge seeking refreshments, and the north and south basin trailhead parking was at a premium at mid-day. Fishermen, hikers and railfans are often half the 400 acre population at times...

514 North blew its horn through Opdyke then stopped. From the scanner it sounds like either they broke apart or one engine konked out. Stay tuned. They are on Main 1 but Amtrak 352 is running very late tonight.

Update: 5844 leading had died suddenly. They are crawling up the Hill now at 10 mph with just 4912 working. Looks like they will make it to Pontiac.

Further update: Train 513, with CN 5456 running light, is on the tailend of 514 shoving. It just went by my house at 9:14 pm.

And as I write this, Train 391 with 5713 and 5735 is NB creeping up on NB 514/513. I presume they are on Main 2 but are going very slow. Maybe the are on Main 1 and bumping into 514's block. Amtrak 352 is still 45 minutes away running two hours late tonight.

371 has CN 3828, BCOL 4621 and CN 5710. They were by Charlotte at 8:45pm.

The CN 5456 was added to 514 so they could get to Flint. CN 5459 was on 505 today.

502 was just getting to Pontiac around 9:30pm. CN 2343 and 8861.

Amtrak 355 departed at 10:09pm.

350 pulled into Pontiac at 6:02 pm. They had one engine today, IDTX 4626. Wying and 514 stalling out added to the delays for 355.
