EB 3-unit C712 with BNSF 9278/BNSF/BNSF 5685 f/f and rear-facing rear-DPU at Mishawaka, IN at 13:49.

Rolled into BC around 16:00 and was by the205 cam at 17:38. only two units as they cut the rear dpu off.

Wb manifest by 205 at 2214 with 2 cn

CN M399 was out of Mac yard this afternoon around 15:35 ish with IC 2719 leading, CN 2605 and CN 5606 trailing.

Should be in the Woodstock to Strathroy area now. Might be a very early morning train between 03:30 to 05:00 past Durand and 05:00 to 06:30 past the Mile 205 cam unless it holds somewhere along the way

In a 24 hour time span we will have four different IC 27**s on the flint sub: 2711, 2716, 2718 and 2719

Also, an X319 was reported in Drummondville, QC at 00:28 this morning with CN 8916 solo and windmill blades. It is headed west

16:49 - EB 2-unit M394 with CN up front and mid train dpu CN unit by the 205 cam
18:00 - WB 4-unit E251 with CN 8905/CN 8936/CN 2509 (NA map scheme)/BNSF 6161 - by the 205 cam - as KC said, BNSF 6161 was online (CN 2509 was not) and blowing some fire as it passed by the cam.
18:03 - EB 2-unit M394 with CN up front and mid train dpu CN unit takes M2 at Durand and then hold at E Durand for a WB to clear up.
18:30 - That WB that M394 was waiting for was L501 with IC 2711 and CN 8818. They cut off of their train on M1 at E Durand, switch over to M2 around M394 and then take the High Wye onto the Holly sub before backing into Durand Yard for a pickup.
19:14 - WB 2-unit L501 with IC 2711/CN 8818 pulls two cuts of cars south across the CN Flint sub and then will back down the High Wye onto M2, then switch over to M1 and couple onto their remaining train. Cars look like primarily tank cars of various shapes and sizes, lots of DOWX and SHPX chemical cars etc...at least 80 cars picked up.
19:40 - WB 2-unit X301 with CN 8942/CN 8922 arrives on M2 at Durand while L501 is on the Holly and waiting to begin to back up onto the High Wye. Not the best planning by dispatch here as they could have had that M394 take M1, then L501's train could have been parked on M2 so that when X301 got to Durand they could have gone by on M1 while L501 backed onto their train on M2. Oh well.
20:26 - WB 2-unit L501 with IC 2711/CN 8818 is west on M2 at Durand
20:31 - EB P364 by the 205 cam
20:39 - EB 2-unit L500 with CN/CN f/f arrives in Durand on M1.
21:19 - WB 2-unit X301 with CN 8942/CN 8922 by the 205 cam
21:30 - EB P364 at Durand on M2 while EB L500 pulls out of the yard power light.
21:37 - P364 departs Durand and L500 holds at E Durand for them. L500 then switches over to M2 and backs down the High Wye down to the Holly sub before going back up into the yard. At 22:14 they go LHF down the PH Wye east. However they proceed to go down the Holly again, then back into the yard again and then pull out a cut of cars (same cars on the head end when they arrived) and leave Durand with both units still facing east. I can't tell what they did off camera but they definitely went around in circles.
22:14 - WB 2-unit L501 with IC 2711/CN 8818 by the 205 cam
22:33 - L500 departs Durand finally for Flint with its original flint head end cars and then a good cut of grain hoppers and some zfs tanks. They definitely picked up all GLC traffic.

There's a WB that is lined thru M1 at Durand as of 23:23 but I'm not staying up for it. have a good night.

WB solo X319 with CN 8619 thru Durand at 06:56 running ahead of P365

As of 07:07, P365 was reported on time thru Imlay City

07:41 - WB 2-unit Z149 with 2 CNs f/r rolls thru Durand on M1 ahead of P365. P365 has a flashing green on M2 as Z149 knocks down their signal.
