Anything currently in the Battle Creek vicinity?
Haven’t heard whether M394 departed BC EB yet.

E251 should be done working Cory Yard soon j would think. I’d scroll by the 205 cam and look for a WB in the last hour. https://youtu.be/uyqcGTIOMms

Otherwise M397 is probably an hour out.
E251 cleared the 205 cam last night at 22:14
