KCS 4129, BNSF 4218 leading a CN eastbound G889, empty grain train, destined for Detroit to be handed off to the NS. All cars are for The Anderson's.

Earlier this year, a grain train came north on NS from the IORY and was handed off to CN in Detroit. Presumably this is a similar move.

Was spotted at Marcellus at 3:50 PM. Crew OD 5ish PM in Battle Creek.

Train will go down Holly sub.

L500 has BNSF/CN for power.

E271 is putting entire train of empty auto racks from Montreal into Snow Yard and going to BC power light.
