251 passing MP 22.5 at a fairly good clip for such a long train at 1:35 pm.
That E251 had a lot of empty racks on the head end again. Should be putting together an E294 out of Battle Creek to head west and then south to Memphis to get these racks off of CN and onto UP.

15:06 - NB M382 with CN 3348/CN 2976 thru Delray
14:00 - SB M383 with CN 3247/GECX 2029/CN 2929 and 157 cars departing Port Huron

Something went past MP 22.1, Opdyke Road, during my walk at 11:10 am. I couldn't see it, too far away still. From the horn and sound of a GE I am guessing it was 251 instead of 515. Very short train.

What was the power of Q116? Squib Rail on Youtube posted about a solo SD75i leading Q116, but I saw Q116 with two SD70M-2s take the Chicago Wye.
I’m confused and want to get this figured out

508 just went past MP 22.5 at 6:11 pm. Short train, all mixed with a few racks. Looked like some empty well cars (can't see in the ditch that well, wonder why they are going that way now?), no containers at all. Short train.
