JAIL was working Saginaw Yard earlier and then interchanged w CN. Now somewhere between Saginaw and Ensel, most likely Padnos. I had to run so I couldn't stay and watch.

According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.

Grand Elk north through Byron center at 5:50pm. WAMX 4206 it looked like, long good forward solo with 15 covered hoppers.
Back south approx 7:20pm. Hard to tell if it was indeed 4206, but about another 15ish cars.

CSX d708 picked up 12 LP tankers off of JAIL’s line in Ensel and dropped off at least 3 coil cars and one box car. The rest are in other cuts of stored cars waiting to be sorted.

MQT 2042 is sitting on the GRE interchange track attached to a long cut of hoppers. I’d assume the 2104 is in the house.
