With GM shut down system wide for two weeks it should be a pretty quiet day today on CN.

Supposedly also at least one yard job each in Lansing and Flint and maybe other yards are also furloughed.

There’s been a noticeable dearth of auto racks this week on CN and it should get even tighter w this microchip shortage.

EB clear Trowbridge at 3:00. Didn’t see power. A lot of white tanks, coil cars, some black tank cars and other mixed freight. Could be a M396 or an A492.

Sounds like an empty intermodal headed your way SB down the Holly. Seems too late to be L514
