We had an X491 61 out of Flat Rock overnight that ran to BC (and then to Kirk)

Also currently in BC is an X491 62. Originating in Flint, they cleaned up Durand Yard and pulled several tracks of WBs for Kirk to sort. L501 was almost all autoracks today as well.

01:52 - EB Q122 w CN 3852/CN 3105 thru Durand
02:23 - WB X49162 w CN 2277/CN 5652 SB out of Durand Yard onto the Holly. They will back up onto M1 of the Flint Sub using the High Wye.
03:43 - WB L501 w CN 5620/CN 8015 thru Durand on M2
03:47 - WB X49162 thru Durand on M1 following L501
04:32 - WB A491 31 w CN/CN/BCOL 4653/CN thru Durand on M2

This is funny. Take the prefix and suffix off the 491 symbols and you have Three (3) WB 491s!

That is even more hilarious if your railfanning somewhere West of Durand and you see your first 491, then the second 491 comes along...and then the 3rd 491 - what are the odds of that!? LOL.
