The evening South Holly Sub. parade has started a bit early tonight. Following the passage of Amtrak 355 down the Hill out of Pontiac, NB 507 went past MP 22.5 around 5:45 pm. Then at 5:50 SB 513 with 4805 went chanting by in reverse with one or two cars. Next up is 508 at some point this evening and then returning 513.

Went past MP 22.5 around 12:30 today. Made good time here. Long slow train working hard up the Hill in the rain.

[AARR]

Westbound approaching Durand Station

[Manistique]

What might have been 116 with two BNSF units and mostly if not all racks (it looked like maybe it had empty well cars in the middle) went past MP 22.5 around 2:30 pm.

Now at 3:54 pm is a doubleheaded NB 515 with 4805 leading 5423 struggling up the Hill with a long train. Not sure how this got doubleheaded with both Pontiac locomotives today as I saw SB 515 with just 5423 go by this morning and have been home all day since noon.

[AARR]

2903 3912 eastbound by Durand Station with approximately 140 cars of mixed freight
