What must have been 508 just went past MP 22.5 with either lite power (2 units) or a very short train at 6 pm.

116 just flew past MP 22.5 on the Holly, a few racks and a fair number of containers.

251 is rolling by MP 22.5 at 12:42 with the 5600 and 5700 that was on yesterday's 116 plus an 8800 at 12:43 pm.

Freshly rebuilt 8309 is passing MP 22.5 at 9:42 am with an empty centerbeam extra train in the snow. The locomotive has a different sound than the 5700's. Like it is sucking air. Nice horn. I wonder if it is taking the cars to store in Pontiac yard?

507 and Amtrak 355 passed out back at MP 22.5 at 5:35 pm.

251 went past MP 22.5 around 1:30 pm.

116 passed MP 22.5 with a 5700 leading a 5600 at 12:15 pm.

251 rolling past MP 22.5 at 1:52 am with zebra striped 5299 trailing. Racing to beat Amtrak 350's arrival in Pontiac.

116 is rolling past MP 22.5 at 3:02 pm.

SB 515 with GP40 3129 this morning just rolled past MP 22.5 at 7:32 with another short train. Five degrees here right now.

507 went past MP 22.5 right ahead of Amtrak 355 again this evening around 5:25 pm.

Saw on FB that they removed all of the tracks from the yard. I think they had removed most of the tracks in the yard due to the need for the rail in other areas on the system.

What I will call a Train 280, short train, all autoracks with one 5600 or 5700 leading, went past MP 22.5 at 9:45 am.

08:41 - EB>SB CN 5644 and 29?30? autoracks thru Durand - possible X116 out of BC

Probably same train but it only had one locomotive, the 5600, by the time it went by here.

SB 515 with 5433 and a short train (though it did what looked like some boxcars for Chrysler for the first time in a while) went past MP 22.5 7:47 am.

507 is rolling past MP 22.5 at 5:23 slowly with a train mostly of containers tonight. I presume it will be stabbed on Pontiac as Amtrak 355 is just getting ready to depart there and foul up both mainlines.

What I presume is an early 508 is rolling past MP 22.5 out ahead of Amtrak 355. Short train.

116 went past MP 22.5 on the Holly at 3:40 pm.

251 just went past MP 22.5 at 10:37 am, very early today. Short train. CN leading a UP (that looks like it had a recent turbocharger fire).

Train 515 South had 5433 again today. It went past MP 22.5 around 7:30 am. Both morning Amtraks left Pontiac on schedule today.
