Train 251 rolling through Bloomfield Hills with two CN and GTW 5815 dead in tow. That is an old Geep and still in GTW colors, probably its original paint job. I remember when these arrived in the late 1970's. They were road power back then.

251 hasn't been switching Pontiac much lately. Often going straight through.

I noticed that today it didn't have any "headend" cars that usually are dropped off at Pontiac. And I also noticed the 507 often does now, like gondolas for DCON yesterday. So something got changed. Funny but the DCON gondolas I thought usually came out of Flat Rock, not Toledo.
