507 rolling past MP 22.5 at 5:04 pm, out ahead of Amtrak 355 today. Ten newer gondolas/bathtub gons up front, maybe for the scrap company on the old Polly Ann in Auburn Hills? Containers on the rear. Short train. Two CN's.

No sign of 116 yet here today.

Gondolas could be for Ferrous then, it is Wednesday which is when they switch them.
