X302 was EB thru Durand at 22:38

Only 205 cam train I could see due to snow was...
L500 EB with 2-units f/f at 19:34
Around 20:00 the cam became obstructed so no ops review this morning on the 205 cam. I know that there was a dearth of WBs all day after the early intermodals and A491, mostly due to the start times that these TMs are giving trains out of MacMillan Yard. You can see that the TMs in MI are trying to compensate by starting L5**s and the E251s earlier as they can to keep some crews moving.

Durand Cam Review
21:18 - EB 2-unit L500 (camera skipped, couldn't get unit numbers) arrives in Durand to back in. They cut off the rear of their train as their set off is on the head end.

22:05 - EB 2-unit L500 has pulled out of the yard and is backing up on M1 with its one car pickup. They will proceed East to Flint after P364 departs.
22:38 - EB 2-unit X302 with CN 3233 and mid-train DPU CN 3035 take M2 at Durand. L500 is still airing up its cars on M1.
