6:05pm, Fri, Dec 24: Lansing Delta Twnshp, GM plant.
6:05pm, WB south track, blinking Yellow over Red
6:08pm, WB south track, went Green over Red.

6:05pm, EB north track Yellow over Red
6:05pm, EB south track Red over Red

[MtClemensRailFan]

M383 through New Haven @ 18:16. CN 3096 & 3889 with 113 cars.

[KC8RBK]

6:05pm, Fri, Dec 24: Lansing Delta Twnshp, GM plant.
6:05pm, WB south track, blinking Yellow over Red
6:08pm, WB south track, went Green over Red.

6:05pm, EB north track Yellow over Red
6:05pm, EB south track Red over Red

Those signals default to an approach aspect. The south track (main 2) showing advanced approach (flashing yellow over red) means something is lined up. I'll have to go look at the map

[bluewonderrails]

E251 was through Bancroft mp248.7 over an hour ago. Since, friends on scene in EL mp223 haven't had any sight of it. Signals haven't changed for a WB, and though it had been shown lined to mp208, it's since been retracted. Listening to radio isn't helping either, too broken.

Desk 10 is just saying they have a bad order car with a hole in an air hose. Car #99 on the train. Flint is sending a Carman

Right. Only the M1 (north track) EB was in default mode. (Y/R). I forgot to post the M1 WB.
M2 (south track) WB went Green, EB M2 was Red (one light only).

Thx...

364 by 205 at 2024. Moving kinda slow

Upon nearing mp236.3 W Shaftsburg, should be a little slow(er), as by request from Homewood as conductor for E251 had been walking his train, and didn't want P364 flying by him. P364 conductor said he'd slow down and "make a lot of noise for him"

P364 is likely taking M1 there as E251 would've been straight shot at the time, so he'd be on M2

A450 by mp205 at 21:35 with two CN and GT 3/3 in original blue (in a gray-scale visual)

[bluewonderrails]

E251 west clear mp223 at 22:19. NS #9876, #9737

[bluewonderrails]

A450 east and M397 west M1 met at the mp223 crossing at 23:37

A450 power was CN #8841. ?, GTW #5831 in blue
M397 power was CN #2223, #2544, #8889

Both practically had their ends meet there as well
