L533N departed Mount Clemens for Port Huron at 19:45 with a rare for these parts CN 4700 class GP38-2W.

M384 is in emergency in Mount Clemens at 20:36. Can't say that I've ever seen a 100+ car manifest stop so fast. Can't tell yet if they hit something or it's just an air problem, but the entirety of Mount Clemens grade crossings are blocked at the moment, including the state highway - M97 to the south. Fun times...

M384 on the move at 20:56.

OK, does anyone here know if B&LE SD38-2 #866 is still working out of Battle Creek? Would the engine pull trains from the yard there or just switch? Also, what happened to B&LE 878? I will be going to Durand with my good friend "Mazon" and hope to catch one of these "Bessemer" engines!!!! :wink:

NB Train 514 went past MP 22.5 around 7:30 pm.

Either a late Train 371 or possibly Train 391 with three CN's, the middle a cowl, is NB passing MP 22.5 at 8:28 pm. Looks like 371 as it is largely autoracks.
