Mann, that is "SADD!!!!" This is my "Favorite" caboose (of all time)! I grew up watching this caboose working the GTW Local on the Mt. Clemens Sub.
They used it from 1991—2000!!!!

Here's a (35mm film) picture my Dad (RCJ I) took of GTW "Center Cupola Caboose" #79054, New Baltimore, 1994: Image

364 stopped at Durand at about 8:30pm. While it was there what looked like 514 departed east toward Flint with GTW 4904 and EJ&E 667. There is now a westbound approaching town that 514 is waiting for on the east side of town.

Westbound intermodal passing Durand Union Station while 514 finally leaves for Flint. Intermodal has three CN engines.

394 is in Sarnia, looks like 385 is sitting in Port Huron.

231 is getting its scan in Sarnia and will come west following the scan.

E231 is on track 1 in Port Huron. CN 2321, 2694 F/R.

Something is scanning or in the tunnel coming from Sarnia.

M396 will be getting a rollby from someone at the west end of the yard shortly.

Pr-post edit: a hirail pickup just hopped on the rail for a trip east through the tunnel. Unsure if they're just inspecting the track or if they're doing something else...

That 385 might be a L505. The 505 crew is supposed to rollby the incoming 396 and has been cleared by Customs.

M385 is well on its way down the Mt Clemens Sub behind CN 8858 and 2332. F/R.

There's probably a 504 working its way back down to the yard from the paper mills. There's horn noise audible from the north, and it's a beautiful day to make the trip.

Unknown eastbound approaching east end of Emmett siding with IC 2703, 1027, F/R. The end of the train is empty frame flats, probably from Flint. They'll be in the siding at least until E231 passes. E231 should be somewhere between West Tappan and East Emmett by now.
