Diverse lashups and Huge trains - Royal Oak, Michigan

A five train outing in Royal Oak was undertaken last night. Saw pretty much every train you could see on a Tuesday evening minus L508, which didn’t leave flint until 9pm. Q116 and L507 being the highlights featuring foreign power, with 507 having a whopping 5 units (all of which online, including a CP AC4400CW). Both 116 and 507 were monsters and I couldn’t film the full length as I risked running out of storage if I did!

Enjoy!

Lucky me, I was stuck on Van Horn at flat rock while that train with the CP unit waited for an inbound to yard. 45 mins I sat there in my dump truck. I was figuring by the time I got loaded and back to the shop in Holly they would go by again but I never did see it.
