Okay, 9-10 for me was this:
Dad and I woke up at 7 and we had the car packed and were out the door by 8. Made a quick stop at the East Lansing Amtrak station to see if 365 had come in, they hadn't and we found out they were running an hour late, so we went over to Krispy Kreme to get the Donuts. Then we went over by Haslett to catch Amtrak. I decided to shoot from a different spot this time, and photograph the train from Above, on the Marsh Road Bridge.
Here's Amtrak's Blue Water with F40 Cabbage 90215 heading west under Marsh Road in Haslett:
followed shortly therafter by Train 149:
Train 480 was being held at Okemos (West end of Double track) to wait for The Blue Water and 149. It finally got permission to proceed east onto single track after 149 had cleared.
Illinois Central 6257 leads a most impressive (and NOISY) lashup of power, complete with a CSX CW40-8:

Some views of the power on this train:
Got to Durand around 9:50, just in time to see the same train swing around the wye onto the Holly Sub:
A good look at all the power, including the CSX unit...:
Next up is CP Rail X534:

Mike Tabone and I went across the tracks to Railroad Street to shoot Train 397.
SD75I 5687, and IC 6141 head the train west past Railroad Street, approaching the depot:
Dad and I went to Gaines to watch Train 281. I think it was Jeff L who said I wasn't going to make it, but we did with two minutes to spare. The shots I took at Gaines were not very good however

IC 6063 leads train 281 west on the Flint Subdivision at Pittsburg Road. *EDITOR'S PICK!*:
That's it for the morning lineup.
