Hearing a K5LA in Lansing currently. Guessing either 304 or 305?
This is my life. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

If this is a problem get used to it.

Old now, but it seemed to be a busy afternoon on the Secondary today. I approached the Inkster Road crossing at 13:48 to see the Conrail local headed back north from the glass plant; two NS locomotives, fourteen covered hoppers, and one loaded center beam flat.

THEN, at 14:37, I heard what I assume was an I-150 headed up. I was a little far off to see if that was indeed what it was, but I assume that's what it was. A couple of days ago, I saw I-150 headed up headed by two BNSF pumpkins, for what that's worth.
