Notable CN Flint sub nonsense
WB X271 w solo CN was thru Durand at 03:39. GM seems to be getting a ton of racks this week to Flint and Lansing.
WB L501 w CN 2254/BNSF 6900 set off a good chunk of cars into Durand Yard this morning. L501 seems to be doing the setting off in Durand and L500 seems to be picking up.
EB Q116 was all racks thru Charlotte at 11:43 w CN 5694/CN 2605/GTW 5828
WB A491 was three CN this morning w what seemed to be a substantial pickup of mixed freight cars from Flint, both L507 stuff like DCON’s loaded scrap gondolas etc… to 86’ GM parts cars. They were thru Durand at 05:30 on M1 w another WB lined up to follow closely on M2.
Second WB turns out to be L501 w CN 2254/BNSF 6900.

SB 356 is passing MP 22.5 on the Holly at 6:50 pm, following Amtrak 355 down the Hill on Main 1 (going a bit fast considering 355 just went by) and it was passed just now by NB 515 on Main 2 heading back to Pontiac Yard.

They had a work block on the PH/Sarnia tunnel today to replace the signals between 10:00-18:00. Should be a pretty busy evening for trains on the flint sub
