I believe this was an X491 with CN 8927 leading a ex-CitiRail engine. They pulled 120ish cars from Durand and took em all to Kirk to get sorted out.

Anyone know if E251 has been through Pontiac yet? 3hr 20min since Fort St would normally be plenty of time, but I don’t remember hearing horns in the past couple hours (maybe I missed hearing them)

Searched back on the Durand cam and caught E251 taking the Chicago Wye WB at 13:08. The engineer even handed out two short blasts and some bell as they passed the station!

L508 is on his way clear CP Gaines with two SD70M-2’s and an SD60. Has a Southern 86’ autoparts boxcar around a dozen cars back behind the power. Not a long train.
