Well given the fact that 396 was spotted only 20 minutes ago in Griffith doesn’t make any sense with that first post.

(Screwed up the post somehow).

OK, train 396 is heading east with CN "GTW Heritage" SD70M-2 #8952 leading!!!! Supposedly this train will work Flint "Bristol/Torrey Yard" on its way east! My friend (Roger) could photograph it for me (with my 35mm camera) in Emmett area! Would this train get there before dark? Where is the train now (4:20 p.m.)?

Train 507 flying by with an 8800 and a 5600 passing MP 22.5 at 5:08 pm with a short train.

Just had an eastbound (382?) go into the tunnel at Port Huron, led by CN 2952 and 3108.

[Manistique]

Train 508 with a BNSF leading three CN's went past MP 22.5 on the Holly at 5:25 pm. Long train, loaded B&LE hoppers (first coal or ore or whatever is in it that I have seen on the Holly since the coal trains stopped running a few years ago), steel, containers on ther rear, a bit of everything.

[GreatLakesRailfan]

There's a 533 somewhere out west of Port Huron that's coming into Port Huron. There's a 301 waiting to go west from Port Huron, but they have to wait for the 533 before they'll get the light to go west. 396 must be somewhere west of Emmett (the town, not the street) if that 301 is leaving PH before it arrives.

[LansingRailFan]

17:45 - WB A491 at Lapeer on M1 waiting for EB A492.

EB M396 with CN 8952 is still in Flint but should be done with their set off soon.
