There is a coal train that has a single CN engine that goes in and out of Flat Rock every day? Is it picking up coal unloaded from a ship nearby? Just returned at 13:55 by the Fort st cam.
I saw him on the wye in Woodhaven around 11:30 this morning as I was crossing at Allen Rd. Not sure where it originated but it was coming off the Dearborn line. I’m guessing they were shoving the train into Flat Rock Yard.

It is coke but it is not from a ship. There is a company over there that makes coke and it is shuttled by CN to the Dearborn steel mill.

I am just guessing but it may be 30-40 cars a day.

That is a coke train if I remember correctly
I think they usually go up the Shore sub. I used to live in Allen Park right where the Dearborn line crosses Pelham Rd. and I can’t recall ever seeing a coke train on that line. It’s typically Frame flat cars, auto racks and Boxcars for the Dearborn Stamping plant.

Should be 506 if it was on the Fort Street camera, which is a Lang to Flat Rock turn. CN 5483 was on 508 last night.

I have not seen a freight train on the Holly today and but for an hour this morning have been home or near the tracks. So looks like no 251 today.

I can't keep track of the numbers

Right now 280/450 BNSF 8360 is South on the Holly with 514/508 next.

Looks like a third train behind that. No idea what
