GP38-2 5832 is working Pontiac Yard. It has the extended G noodle like when was originally delivered. However it is very dirty.
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...

There's an automotive train heading west on the Flint Sub right now- I saw it just before 4 at West Tappan (Wadhams road, just west of Port Huron). CN 8927 and CN 5776 are elephant style. There were several loaded frame flats (more than I remember 501 carrying back when they still ran 501 through these parts) and the rest of the train was loaded autoracks.

How come no one here saw southbound train A483? Man I did not know about this one! Per "Heritageunits," by S.E.MI.Hemi, it had "CN 5791, IC 2458 2nd, IC 2466 3rd!" This was seen at 6:47 p.m. in Macomb! Now, will these "Blue" IC C40-8W engines likely lead A482 north tomorrow? If so, what time is that likely in Warren?
:shock: MAN TWO BLUE IC ENGINES!!!! :shock:
