1:31 PM: WB lined by Durand on M2, Don't have access to ATCS at the moment so I can't tell if there's a meet planned but I'm guessing that's the case.

Re: CN Updates October 2021
P364 using M2 was due to L501's train being on M1 east of Durand. They cut off there and the power took the High Wye down the Holly to back into Durand Yard to pick up some WB cars.LansingRailFan wrote: ↑Wed Oct 27, 2021 9:41 pm21:30 - Durand. Tonight P364 arrived on M1 and not the normal M2
d
P364 arrives in Durand at 21:30
L501 is back on their train and goes WB by the depot at 21:50 on M1.
- On the Durand Cam - East, you an see the power take the High Wye at 19:21 and you can tell it's just the power because the gates aren't down for long.
- On the Durand Cam - West, you can see L501's power back into Durand Yard at 19:28
L501 has CN 5647/CN 2631/CN 3226

Re: CN Updates October 2021
Two side notes for the Flint sub today:
One - there's a new DD installed at 205.5 and it sounds like it might be online because 206.3 has been silent all day.
Two - I've heard several trains today blow for Newburg Rd/Main St crossing just east of the depot. I thought Durand was a quiet zone and that this crossing was part of that.
