Any updated info on the EB empty windmill train? Waiting in Lapeer for it. Didn't know if it was close or anything else close?

Train 251 with 2 CN and one BNSF slowing to let Amtrak 350, which passed it on Main 1 out back at MP 22.5, cross in front of it to get into Pontiac station at 3:20 pm. Twenty cars on the head end for Pontiac.

And right behind this at 3:30 pm comes 515 past MP 22.5 with 5435 again and 20 cars.

At 4:30 pm SB Train 514 went by with two lite locomotives, SD60 5413 and GP9r 4633. If the geep is making the return trip from Moterm to Flint tonight it will be a rare mainline manifest freight run for a GTW GP9 and it should be leading.

Eastbound stack train with CN 2725 & 8024 through East Lansing at 01:41.

They were on main 1, so I'm expecting a westbound but nothing is lined up yet.

edit
116 with CN 3114 & 3099 through East Lansing at 01:58 also on main 1.

Train 515 SB out of Pontiac passed MP 22.5 at 10:15 am and was double-headed again today with 5852 and 5435, probably because it had not only a 64-car train (a new SB record by my count) but also probably because it had a heavy train as about 50 or so of the cars were loaded coiled steel cars. Where is that steel going to? Where is it coming from? I don't see that many on 251's Pontiac drop-off.
