With those trains above all potentially for the Holly Sub, a quick recap of overnight Holly Sun SB trains.

There was two SB manifests last night.

M356 with CN 5792/CN 2621. Empty racks and then some tank cars and sand hoppers. At 02:00ish this morning it took the Wye onto the Dearborn sub. Entire train went to: CN Railroad Schaefer Yard
(888) 888-5909

Later, L571 with CN 5787 solo came up to Dearborn and grabbed the tanks/sand hoppers and took them south along with CN 5792/CN 2621 to Flat Rock.

There was an A450 later on in the night as well. CN Dash 9 and CN 100th anniversary unit GEVO for power. I forget unit numbers.

Empty racks seem to be tight this last week on the Flint and Holly subs with Cory and Bristol looking fairly empty. It’ll be interesting to see where these EB rack trains run overnight.
