I've been watching the flagstaff camera most of the morning and a blue devil and a cn unit just passed by. Neat to see local equipment way out there. Looks like a unit tank train so maybe jointly operated. 1018 mst on the cam if anyone wants to go back to see.

And where is Crawford Rd??
M.P. 41.47 Mount Clemens sub between Bauman and Meskill Roads and just east of the Rattle Run Creek bridge. One of only two places on the north end that is perfectly flat (after climbing out of the .51% Belle River Valley grade). Also, home to the "Crawford' intermediate signals - and if you've ever been to the Belle River bridge at night, that emerald green signal is the solid only light twinkling in those dark and quiet hills. Just a little more Crawford info for you...

Thanks for the follow up. I'm fascinated by how you guys come up with info like that. Half the time I don't even recognize the trains around here, especially the way the railroads in our area keeping changing numbers :lol:

One of the road freights is blocking Johnson Road South of Pontiac Yard. They may be blocking other roads too.
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...
