What looked like a combined through-freight and local 515 just went SB past MP 22.5 at 6:50 pm with 5416 (the currently assigned power out of Pontiac) and a medium-sized train. The front half looked like through freight (a lot of autoracks which are never on 515) and the rear half looked like 515's usual consist.

1104 eb manifest by 205 with 2 cn. Actually some neat loads on this train. A bulk head flat car with what looks like metal tubes and 2 cars of long steel pieces that hang off either end so they have buffer cars between and on either end.

Eastbound loaded autorack through Durand at 1203. SD75I and M-2. Cherish the times when you see an auto rack train, I don’t think they’ll be around much longer!
