Thanks. Sounds like 251 or at least has blocked 251. Thought it was taking 251 a while to get to Pontiac today.

Would that be the one straddling the Lodge freeway?

Northbound what I assume to be yesterday's 251 by Linden around 9:55am with 410 axles. (Close to 100 cars). Lots of empty centerbeams, a few tank cars, and many covered hoppers, both short and regular lengths. I didn't catch the whole train (thus the axle count), but what I did see, there were no autoracks, so this could have been an extra train as well, not sure.

This is a late post, so as I type this, he is probably at or by Durand by now.
