L515 was working CN Cargo Flo and C.J. Link @13:00. Both have been receiving quite a few more cars as of late. Although the switch remains, the frog has been pulled at Phoenix Stone in Mount Clemens until such time as rail service is needed again.

L533 is now the Port Huron puller job. They have a couple of as-needed customers on the Clemens Sub and also still handle Lapeer Industrial interchange and LSRC/PH yard duties.

There's additional changes so it seems to L506, L507, L508 and some potential for different blocks of traffic on L500, L501 as well.

Thanks LRF. Seems to be an awful lot of work for L515 to handle, especially when FCA can require 2/3 hours to switch on a busy day, but I suppose they know what they are doing. Sounds like some long days ahead for that job. They'll need to do a better job on blocking, as digging the Chrysler cars out of the train and positioning them properly for placement has been a bit messy the past few days.

16:50 - EB A492 w CN 3853/CN at CP Cedar. 636 axles on the dd at 219.5. Some neat fallen flag gons including Farmers Marketing Association - Denver which is a new one for me.

16:50 - EB M394 w CN 2994/CN 3139 at MP 208 on the flint sub, following A492.

A492 took M2 at CP Cedar, potentially meeting a WB Z149 or Q123 in East Lansing.

R934 is working in Cory Yard w CN 5489

16:53 - WB Q123 or Z149 intermodal w CN 3805/CN 2750 at CP Cedar proceeding onto the main. EB M394 will hold at CP Mill for them.
