CN 5766/CN 5742 were from a WB Z147 that terminated in Flint. It had 100 cars and was about 50/50 split between wells and racks.

CN 3052 was on L500 on 2/27-28

CN 5606 was on an E271 that terminated in Flint

CN #5693 leading in what I believe is an E275, is close to arriving to Cory Yard in Lansing. Has two rows to drop off and another two to pick up prior to proceeding.

Via friend, what may have been A491 passing through mp223 East Lansing west at 13:41. Me: It is a likely train to meet an EB between mp208/mp210. The EB (lead by CN #3263) will take M1 at mp208 on arrival to let the WB through.

CN #3263 (confirmed A492) called in to say along their EB path on single track somewhere passed mp197, he had a signal unknown. Signal maintainer informed.
