Robert, I can barely read your post on my phone with the color bolding and fonts. Keep that in mind as most of us use a mobile device to post.

Agreed, kinda hurts my eyes a bit too, and why are you still looking at heritageunits if you're seeing the "bogus" reports you're talking about? You have this site for information :)

Last night around 10 pm a heavy SB went past MP 22.5, shaking the house like 450 used to with all the coiled steel it carried. Since there was a 116 yesterday I presume there wasn't a 508 so maybe it was a 450.

A two car passenger train went NB past MP 22.5 on the Holly at 11:50 am powered by a single CN GE. They were those grey cars we often see tacked onto Amtrak Trains to Pontiac.

Passing through Bloomfield at 2:06 pm. Good time today.

Right before it was a SB freight that I did not get a visual on. Short train.

It was L508. All of the old a450 cars now ride on A492 to Flint.

You’ve got a Q116 today as well as an M356. The Q116 was CN 8022 solo. M356 is CN 8950/rear DPU CN 8908.

Also of note,

EB M394 w BNSF 6266/CN 3305 (new C6M rebuild)/CN 6020 (rare SD40U) was thru Charlotte at 13:54 today

14:20 - WB R934 coming back from JAIL interchange crossing Waverly Rd w CN 5435

Manistique, where did this train go with passenger cars? Will this be for Amtrak®? There have been times cars were brought! Or, will they be interchanged for LSRC? :?:

They are in Pontiac as usual. Probably go out on Amtrak. Becoming a more common site. If ever I could afford it, I would ride across country in one of these.

A NB just flew by MP 22.5 at 8:02 pm. Maybe a late returning 515? Looked like it from the consist.
