7:03 - EB 2-unit CN/CN stacks and racks by the 205 cam - a late Q116? or an early E274 that's setting off stacks in Flint for L514 to take to Moterm?
8:47 - CN 8926/CN 8902 take M1 EB at Durand with stacks on the head and racks on the rear. Not sure what this one will be doing in Flint or parts east.
514 had close to 6,000 ft going south today. No 116 to Moterm today either.

450 turning south at Durand 7:51, GECX/BNSF Leaser on point...? CN GEVO 2nd of two, 7:54 PM: Signal got dropped at South Holly, So probably going into the siding to meet 514 when he gets on the way...

BNSF 5372 C44-9W was the leader. Some CN was the trailing engine.

Someone a couple of days ago mentioned that CN is using an E276## symbol to run racks from Flint to Montreal. I wonder if these Q116s terminate in Flint that they pickup racks and continue on to Montreal, resymbolling in Flint from Q116 to E276.

As they were taking the wye south, L500 was pulling out of Durand Yard with 2-units and 7 cars - six 80' autoparts boxcars and one white tank car. FRED was on the tank car and they proceeded east to Flint.
