514 went into the yard at Pontiac.

They have CN 5246 and 5423. Are picking up two engines off 251 and those down to Moterm

251 just called the dispatcher to get the signal at West Pontiac.

It was stopped on the I-696 bridge for a while before going! I caught this train at Common Road, Roseville, about 4:20 p.m. Very slow! There were "Punks" climbing on the train as it passed!!!!! They were about a quarter mile from me! I told them how stupid it was!!!! :shock:
