251 passing MP 22.5 at 5:36 pm. Five locomotives, first two working. Lot of mixed up front (so no X491 today) including two blue GTW 85 ft HiCubes and what looked like an old Soo Line covered hopper. Waiting for Amtrak 355 to pass it, it is due past now, but nothing so maybe they are holding it for 251.
Edit: Amtrak 355 went by at 5:54 so they must have held it for 251.
