8:54 - WB 2-unit Z149 with CN 3803/CN 2824 on M1 at Durand.
by the 205 cam at 10:20 with 488 axles
The typical axle math would be 119 cars, but being an Inter-modal well cars with some having shared trucks, I had counted 169 cars.

I haven't seen Pontiac Metals or the Pontiac scrap yard switched in a month or two. Has anyone else seen any rail activity at these two places?
They have been later in the day. Today they dropped a lumber car off for Bolyard around 5:30pm.
