A possible extra intermodal is about to leave Moterm, would be using one of 508’s engines from earlier.

8:35 PM: Some NS power just brought what appears to be a GLC grain train across the diamond at Durand. Don’t think I’ve ever seen that before on the camera!

Maybe this is what I heard go past MP 22.5 last night around midnight. But it had DPU in the middle of it from the sound of it. Only trains with DPU's on the Holly usually were those weekly container trains out of Prince Rupert that ran once a week a few years ago. What happened to them? I didn't get up to see it.

SB 515 just passed MP 22.5 at 7:15 am with 5430 again.

An early 116, I presume, is passing MP 22.5 at 11:47 am. All racks, no stacks. Short train. Two CN's.

NB 515 just passed MP 22.5 at 1:15 pm with a long train that looks like it was mostly Conrail interchange cars.

251 passing MP 22.5 at 5:21 pm with four units, all working, fourth one a BNSF. Looks like it will stab Amtrak 355 scheduled to leave Pontiac in a couple minutes. Also looks like it is on Main 1, Amtrak's track. Yikes. Two blue GTW hicubes in the train in very good shape. A lot of mixed freight including covered hoppers galore, sand and otherwise. Then the mile or so of autoracks on the end. Long train.

If I've hear correctly that's the second one. A few days ago they had a pair of ns on a G train they ran all the way to Oakley and back. It would be neat to see some foreign power out on their system, especially ge units.

507 went past MP 22.5 around 8:40 pm. Amtrak 352 at 9:20, a few minutes late. I never heard 508 go by. There was a 513 with 5853 last night too on the South Holly.

First well of intermodal has a smaller white container with "STOW-IT | Sales & Rentals" in red text. Seen via friend's FB video. A new-to-me type of container
