365 by 205 roughly on time. It had an unusual car on the west end that didn't match the rest.

@ 9:15 a train went backwards by the Fort st cam.

WB L501 w CN 5695/CN 3898/NS 7641/UP 2523 thru Charlotte at 09:35.

UP 2523 led an E26091 to Flint yesterday and NS 7641 led another rack train overnight. Nice to finally see some foreign power on the CN Flint Sub.

If E260 ran yesterday, odds are, this is an E280.

OK, does anyone know where BCOL "Cowl" 4609 is today? It was on train A492 yesterday, 12-5!!!! It must have gone to Sarnia! Someone mentioned the power could be on 491 today! Anyone know? I have a guy (Roger) who could photograph this train for me with my 35mm camera!!!!

A492 clear Snow Yard

WB Q123 on M2 thru Trowbridge

EB Q116 earlier was at Snow Yard and set off a good cut of autoracks.

WB intermodal cleared Hagadorn Rd. at 13:30. Looked like two GEs leading, no DPU, no numbers, no symbol, at least not yet. (update, Q123)

EB freight passing Hagadorn Rd. at 13:36. M-2 and SD75i leading, no numbers or symbol. (update, A492)

Northbound racks and boxes mostly by Royal Oak 14:00, BNSF 7128 7622, had a hotbox near end of train. Train stopped, have to cut the car out for stuck brake, is okay to proceed north when that's done.

This train is stopped with the power just north of the Maple Road viaduct at 3:04pm.

Q116 CN 8003 into Moterm 15:05, sounds like train 507? around also for Moterm.
