205 cam notices for today, January 18th, 2022

01:10 - WB manifest, CN/blue BCOL(?)
01:58 - EB stacker+manifest (Q116?), CN/CN/UP/CN
02:19 - WB stacker, 1 CN front, 1 CN mid
06:19 - WB manifest, CN/UP
06:39 - WB manifest, CN/UP

Unknown-to-me EB lined to take Holly Sub, nearing mp252 Clara. Will be able to clear before P365 proceeds west. Could be the possible Q116 mentioned if they'd encountered a problem or new crew due to time expiration of the other.
--- same train took Chicago Wye SB Durand at 07:57

Another EB at of 07:54 lined from Walton mp197

205 notices (just the latest 3)


​UP #7367 east @ 22:01. All auto, may be M356. Took M1 at Potterville to Cory Yard.

4 CN east @ 22:18. Mixed manifest

?/CN east @ near end of 22:36. Will stay on main/M2 until cpMill mp215, then take Thorofare from there to at least Snow Yard. Couldn't tell what lead unit was or if he'll do work at Snow or if they're going to keep him on the Thorofare to M1 Cedar to Okemos

As of 22:44, there's two WBs in the Durand area. The closest is on M2 passing Durand Union Station mp253.3. The second is minutes away from triggering HBD 257.1 East Durand. Will take M1 there.

Update on 22:36 EB - sounded as if he was taking Thorofare to M1 Cedar+, having mentioned no restrictions to mp225 which is 4 miles east of cpCedar.

205 cam review -
01/19/2022
22:01 - EB Solo UP 7367 w E260 to Cory as noted above.
22:18 - EB 4-unit All CN paint M394
22:36 - EB 2-unit A450 with IC 1024/IC 2031 - They take the Lansing Thorofare because they usually have a set off or pickup at Snow Yard with Toledo-bound loaded racks and potential other cars and it usually has the EB cars to set off for the Lansing local. This train happened to be almost entirely racks tonight.

EB 3-unit M396 with CN 8000/CN 8826/UP 6034 thru Potterville at 14:41.

They will be meeting WB A491 at CP Cedar.

M396 is lined to take M1.

There is another EB lined as well, E260 to Flint.

An earlier EB A492 is now in Bristol Yard

WB Z149 is in between Imlay City and Lapeer

After E260 the next EB we should see is M394.

15:05 - EB 2-unit E260 with BNSF 7101/BNSF 8047 destined for Flint. Both units are forward facing. It will be interesting to see if this power comes back as L501 tonight or if they run an L501 and an X501 like they have been doing when these rack trains terminate at Flint.

09:55 - EB C712 w dual BNSF up front and a third on the rear by the 205 cam.

Usually these are run overnight so it’s cool to see a daylight Loaded coal train on the CN.

Power: BNSF 5770/BNSF 9991 and rear DPU BNSF 6195
