First one was an eastbound manifest with a lot of grain hoppers a handful of them were Potash. Lot of tankers too. Train also had a mid dpu and it is not stopping to work Flint (if that helps). Anyone know the symbol?
Next train was M396 with 2 CNs leading.

The evening parade on the South Holly started with Amtrak 355 departing Pontiac on time, passing MP 22.5 at 5:35 pm.
Right on 355's tail was a SB 513 with GP38-2L 4805 and one tank car at 5:40 pm
Now, at 6:50 pm, 507 is struggling up the hill in a snow storm.

L508 came to Durand with 4 locomotives, they dropped 2 of them off in the yard since CN is over there giving out candy and goodies to trick or treaters and railfanners. They’re spreading the word about how to be safe around the tracks. Following that L508 coupled back up to their train they left on the Flint Sub, then proceeded through the High Wye southbound. No Intermodals tonight.

17:00 - L508 with CN 8964/CN 2657/CN 5340/CN 5703 drops their train on M2 and takes the High Wye before backing into Durand Yard. The crew stops CN 5340/CN 5703 in Durand and then at 17:26 heads SB out of Durand Yard. They’ll use the High Wye again to shove back to their train before continuing south to Pontiac.
