Whatever happened to northbound train A482? I waited at "CP Beck" for a while with a "High Green!!!!" I have not heard anything since leaving there around 7:45 p.m. This train has five locos with BCOL "Cowl" #4620!!!!

Eastbound racks with BNSF 6232 & 9254 by Lansing Snow yard at 22:47
They will be meeting 3 westbounds at Okemos

501 broke a knuckle leaving Cory, so main 1 is blocked there until the carman arrives from Battle Creek

450 is holding up at Maple to meet the 3 westbounds

M356 that had CN 3115 (BC Rail HU) terminated in Battle Creek.

About M356: Usually terminates at Markham. If it is mostly empty autoracks, it will continue East to BC and sometimes as far as Cory Yard. If it's mostly full autoracks, it will be reshuffled in Markham and continue as E274.
Trains that originate in BC:
EB: L500, A450
WB: E27161, M393

There's also an EB empty windmill train headed to BC. If it comes with BNSF power, it will need CN engines swapped that have microwaves, refrigerators and soft serve ice cream machines (new in 2021).

There's also a E274 that is OD in BC. That could be a remarshalling of the train as well.

Empty rack train with a single pumpkin eb by 205 at 1010. 256 axles

Wb at 155 m2, lights to w marcellus. Looks like another one following. Maybe the one I just heard leaving battle creek yard.

That rack train is approaching bancroft, just got a light down the holly. Heads up for those down that way

Eb rack train by 205 with 2 cn and a 4 axle ic in cn paint. I didn't get up.quick enough to catch the unit number.
