507 with five locomotives is flying past MP 22.5 at 7:52 pm.
WB L501 with CN 2242/CN 2678/CN 2969/CN 2932/CN 2980 by MP 205 cam this morning at 06:14 am.

They flipped the power set off of L507 onto L501 in Flint and sent them west.

70 racks on the earlier E28091

Maybe Ford got their crap together and got some door handles in stock

What was probably 508 just went past MP 22.5 at 7:35 pm. However, it was a few containers and the rest racks, looking more like a 116. Two CN's as power.

That one was L508. Too many trains to keep track of today.
