What I’m guessing is 508 is turning south onto the Holly Sun in Durand at 2:31pm. Three CN engines, middle one being the GTW heritage unit.

EDIT: It is currently stopped just south of town on the Holly.

It is now lined south down the Holly at 2:44pm.

Any chance it’s actually for military vehicles from/for Camp Grayling?

Doesn't sound like it according to this interview (11:20 in)

Thank you for posting

No problem!

Also, just got back home from another drive and I had caught LSRC near Holly.

Sorry about that! Here it is.

Northbound LSRC local approaching Holly at 5:52pm. LARC 4201 and 8 cars (5 tank cars and 3 boxcars).

Caught the GLC southbound near Durand at Prior Road this morning.

Ended up going to Anna. The eclipse was awesome, I'm so glad I went! I also saw a southbound intermodal and two northbound lorams while I was there (one weed spraying, the other grinding). I also dipped south afterwards and got to see the Big Four bridge in Sidney which was really neat.

Long southbound, I’m guessing 508, going through Gaines at 7:25pm. 2 CNs for power. Going pretty slow.

I'm thinking of heading down I-75 to the Lima-Sidney area. Does anybody have info on how busy the B&O and Big Four lines are nowadays? Especially in the afternoon when the eclipse is happening.

Southbound passing Pitt Junction south of Durand at 4:42pm. 383, 382, 329 for power and a good sized mixed freight, lots of covered hoppers.

EDIT: 119 cars

Thanks everybody for the info!

Gotta question regarding traffic on the north end of CSA (north of Milwaukee Junction) - does CSX still run any trains up there to North Yard/Sterling? I recall years ago when I would pass through that area, I'd catch both CSX and NS trains on Sterling Secondary, and there'd be a thorough mix of bot...

Looks like it peaked in intensity as an EF2 right by the railyard. I haven't seen anything about it affecting the tracks, although it did heavily damage a warehouse adjacent to it. On a side note, the National Weather Service on Twitter says this is only the second tornado recorded hitting southeast...

I ended up catching GTW 4914 after it had finished switching in the yard in Durand tonight. It left after 507 cleared town to follow it back towards Flint. I apologize for the trashy quality, it was a last minute chase using my phone in low lighting. Still was really neat seeing original blue/orange...

507 just went through Durand at 8:45pm on its way to Flint. GT 4914 (original blue paint) is switching the yard.
