Something moving in Pontiac Yard. I think it’s a road freight rather than a local.

[AARR]

It’s a road freight going north with at least one BNSF GE engine

[AARR]

There’s a southbound approaching Pontiac Yard. There will be two road freights in Pontiac.

Northbound by Linden about 15 minutes ago. Not sure what train it was. Late 371 maybe?

M384 (CN/CN) met L533 (GTW 5852) at MOUNT at 21:50. I believe 533 was scheduled to head to Detroit (East Yard), but a change in plans has them dragging a very long train back to Port Huron.

Hey KC8RBK and others:

Northbound 371 by, Linden, MP55.3 at 10:40am.

I think this was 371 - mostly all autoracks, but he is very early - maybe an extra?

UPDATE: 206 on the Axle Count by 59.9 (Gaines) just a few minutes ago. If this was 371, it was shorter than normal. Maybe still an extra?

Hey KC8RBK - That EB Autorack train that was by you around Noon must be getting close - Dispatcher talking to E280, which w/ a BNSF unit. He will be coming down the Holly. Dispatcher talking to him about fuel and bring the 2nd unit online on the way to Pontiac for fuel efficiency. It sounds like the leader is maybe a little low on fuel.

Southbound CN E-280 by Linden w/ BNSF 4125 in the lead, BNSF 4539 Trailing. Found the Binoculars - still in an unpacked box. Engine Number showed up nicely with them. Not sure on the car count, 300-and-some axle count in Gaines, so 70 or 80 cars.
