Sorry LansingRailFan, didn't see your post until just now. Was busy today, but since 514 at 3:46pm, there have been 5 more trains, last one around 9pm. Its too dark for me to see past around 5pm and didn't have my scanner on.

Looks like 251, 2x 280s, X251(?), and 514 NB. In the past week, there have been at least three days that extra NBs have originated at Flat Rock. Nice to see this uptick in traffic the past week, lots and lots of racks moving on the Holly.
Ford is having production issues with the F150s. They have thousands of trucks in parking lots awaiting shipment. Those were from the original batches of 2021s that are still awaiting final inspections before being released.
The extra trains before have been leaving Flat Rock as direct connections to the BNSF or UP in Illinois, thus skipping the mixing center at Gibson Yard.
Too bad the GM Orion plant isn't shipping anymore and no more coal trains. Those would be nice additions, but don't see it happening. They still run coal trains, but not on CN, it's NS out of Chicago to Toledo, then up to Monroe, or where ever they go.

I’ve noticed the uptick in BNSF and UP and even an NS rack trains in the last 1.5 weeks. There’s been tons of em.
Southbound through Royal Oak. Short train so I think it’s a local but I thought I saw a auto rack in its consist. Difficult to tell because I was watching between buildings.
