A w/b autorack with UP 6416 & 6602 left Battle Creek a little while ago. A Lansing coal MT came into the yard w/b as well, with NS leading BNSF power, but couldn't see the numbers.

Update: Long mixed freight with CN 3038 leading CN 2842 e/b thru BC about 11 pm.

Late post...

CN 2930 and 2916 were power on an eastbound spotted by the GM plant on the west side of Flint about 3:00 this afternoon, probably making a set out or a pickup in the yard.

What happened to the B&LE 910 that was at Kilgore didn't stay long. L520 has had the CN 5285 the LNG unit that was mated with the 5261 several years ago.
