I caught this southbound at about 1pm on Lovejoy Road, between Byron and Cohoctah. I haven't counted the cars yet, but it seemed like one of the longer general freights I've seen on the GLC.

I'm next to useless on destinations and what-not, but for whatever it's worth an empty grain train went north on the Saginaw Sub yesterday afternoon/evening. I caught it in Holly at 5:21pm.

Southbound autorack train going through Durand at 8:24pm. 2 CN engines and 98 racks.

Southbound going through Durand at 7:58pm. 2 CN engines, 65 mixed (good amount of steel coil cars) and 63 racks (divided into two cuts, most on the end). An eastbound is lined up until Clara now. Not sure if it’s another freight or Amtrak being lined up early.

508 crossing Seymour Road southbound a couple miles west of Linden. 2 CN engines for power, 42 stacks, 57 mixed including a healthy amount of both sand hoppers and coil cars among other things, and 26 autoracks.

CN 3869 and 3151 heading south through Gaines at 8:20pm. Lots of empty racks, with some mixed freight on the front, and three random tank cars in the middle of the auto racks. 450 maybe?

And now a very long 508 just went south through Pitt Jct (a mile or so south of Durand). CN 5483 and 5433 for power.

CN 8813 and 8899 taking what i assume is 251 north and west through Durand at 7:14pm. Long train, with a good amount of both mixed and auto racks. I noticed that 8813 had two pairs of ditchlights. Cant say I’ve seen that before. Or I’m just not very observant.

Quick questions, I was wondering if anyone know if 147 and the new 122/123 are daily or as needed? Also is there a 146 counterpart to 147? Haven’t seen a 146 in a long time. 122/123 are daily 147 is daily now. Replacing e271s to flint unless they are receiving a lot of racks. Then they’ll get a 147...
