unique trains from the last few days:

1. Saturday night there was an outbound intermodal extra from Moterm to Roberts Bank, BC - X139 61 with CN 8941/CN ex-Citirail 3916 - long boy at about 10,000' of double stacks. Rolled through Durand around 22:00-22:30 Saturday night.

2. Around 09:00 on Sunday, an EB rack train with CN 5783 solo was in Mishawka, IN. This train was an E280 that terminated in BC. L500 brought the train to Cory Yard/Snow Yard in Lansing, dropped the racks and then picked up the CWR train from Snow Yard with CN 2332. As user bluewonderrails reported, it continued east from there to Flint.
