P364 is stuck in Snow Yard. Their Twitter account says “behind a freight train.”

It’s approx 2h 15m late to East Lansing

Southbound 280 by Linden at 8:39am with 86 cars. He had 2 CN locomotives, but didn't catch the numbers. I can once again see trains from my upstairs window as the farmer has cut the tall corn field and I can see across the way again.

The "could have" been 116 without intermodal cars, but I think it was 280.

00:08 - big dumb nature deer is still in front of the camera but there's a WB 4-unit mixed freight by the 205 cam. Lotta sand hoppers so I think this one is E251 because it was reported to have four units earlier. racks on the tail too.

00:23 - WB 2-unit CN/CN paints with Durand pickups and then some racks on the tail. Looks like L501 to me.

00:55 - WB 5-unit all CN paints mixed freight by the 205 cam. Once that clog at Snow Yard cleared, the EBs that were on the single track ran through following P364 and then all these WBs rolled through. I bet the Lansing Thorofare was full of parked trains last night but it still doesn't show up on the ATCS.

If I recall, that’s an M356
