Why didn't the WB through SL blow the horn? I heard it pass, but that's it

Edit. Nvm. It is now. I'm not sure what went through before it.

Anyone else catch the odd horn pattern on the WB that just came through SL? Also, are they taking the siding? Sounds like they're moving slow. Too many leaves on the trees to see the tracks from my vantage point now.

On that note, how are the lights STILL on? Does it have that much backup power? They leave the engines running, I know on some locomotives an APU is present, keeping the coolant warm (and the bigger engine at operating temp), I imagine they also supply some electrical power. I've heard "the lights ...

Apologies if this has been answered already. I looked, but didn't see anything. Any idea how long the train is going to sit in the siding in South Lyon? Was still there this afternoon. Lights still on also. On that note, how are the lights STILL on? Does it have that much backup power?

Thanks everyone for the info on B235!

22:51 - B235-22 Northbound to Westbound Clear Plymouth. CP 8008 + 9783 (DPU). 23:22 - B235-22 Clear EE South Lyon. Crew van at WE South Lyon to pick up crew.

18:50 - L302 and L303 met in South Lyon. Both are moving now.

Thank you, sparrow!

WB stopped in South Lyon. Might be blocking lake street/10 mile. Can't quite tell how far up he is from my place.

Something EB through South Lyon not too long ago. Couldn't check the time, was outside without my phone. Looked like a fair number of empty centerbeams.

Thanks sparrow! Busy day out here today lol

Who is currently crawling wb through South Lyon? Actually, they just stopped. I can see them from my window, not sure if they are on the lake street crossing or just before.

D705 is entering the siding in South Lyon at 18:22. This must be where they’ll wait for D706. CSX 5498 + 5453 leading.

Thank you!!

WB through South Lyon is passing at a crawl. Are they pulling into the siding?

The train going EB through South Lyon might be one of the noiseist I've heard come through... jeebus.
