Thank you LRF. Do you know if it’s going to end at Battle Creek? Are our corn flakes going to be made with this?

No this is most likely a train heading for export out of Louisiana.

Here’s video of the train:

Does anyone know if the GLC was running anything in Livingston County around 5:30 pm on Sunday. I live in Pinckney and heard a train horn about that time. Sounded like it was coming from north/east of my location, which would put it most likely as GLC, but it may also have been CSX. I don't think it was coming from NS/Amtrak through Dexter.

I'm aware this is probably off topic, but does anyone know if GLC #393 is still painted into the 10 year anniversary livery?

Yes it is. I’m not sure if it’s operational or not at this time.
