E251 north at Ecorse at 8:30. CN 5760 and BNSF 5991. 157 cars.
16:36 - WB 2-unit E251 with CN 5760/BNSF 5991 by the 205 cam. Long train today with what looked to be all Flat Rock based traffic including 10 empty lumber cars on the head end and 42 empty coil gondolas/hood-less coil cars. loaded racks on the tail end.

Lately L514 has been bringing north to Flint miscellaneous cars from Pontiac if E251 can't make a pickup. This includes anything from L513, L515 and also the Lang Yard traffic that L507 brings up. If there isn't an extra 251 tonight, there might be tomorrow after another day of cars piling up. Either an extra 251 or L514, if they aren't too long, will pickup cars and take them to Flint for an A491 or E271 to pickup.

L514 south at Birmingham at 18:20. CN 5433 and CN 5441. 197 cars.

514 will cut lose of their inbound train north of Royal Oak, head light power down to Moterm, and begin building the outbound train. Once the outbound train is built and the yard cleared out, 514 will head light power north to Royal Oak, grab the inbound train, head south, and spot the cars at Moterm. Once inbounds are spotted, 514 will head north with the outbound train.

Also of note, L515 worked East Yard today. Picked up several 60' auto parts boxes.

SB 514 was past MP 22.5 at 6:10 pm and it was a long train. Not sure if two miles long but certainly longer than usual. I was wondering when 514 would be doing work other than just the container shuffle and now I know it is out of Pontiac some days. Thanks LRF. I only once saw it with cars other than containers heading south out of Pontiac and that was like a year ago.

This is in the last couple of months that we've been noticing it pull mixed freight cars from Pontiac north to Flint. It's not daily but an as needed maneuver.

08:17 - 3-units back into Durand Yard off of the Holly. CN 2237/CN 8808/CN 5634 - train symbol L51462 from Pontiac to Durand.

10:55 - WB 4-unit G825 with CN 2237/CN 8898/CN 5634/HESR 3038 with another P&H loaded corn train from Auburn via HESR.
Well, HESR 3038 must be one of those GP40-2LW units that is departing to go to NECR in New England! Right? :?: :!: :?: Did the others leave? I wanted HESR 3036 to stay as that is former CMGN 9712!!!! The "Last" black former CMGN unit on home rails!!!! :(
Idk man it’s orange and gone that’s all I know Randy
LansingRailFan I realize HESR 3038 is "Orange!!!!!" I also mention about 3038 being "Black" and former CMGN 9712!!!! Does anyone know if any "Canadian Wide-cab" locomotives remain on HESR? If so, which ones? :?:
