365 by 205 roughly on time. It had an unusual car on the west end that didn't match the rest.

WB L501 w CN 5695/CN 3898/NS 7641/UP 2523 thru Charlotte at 09:35.

UP 2523 led an E26091 to Flint yesterday and NS 7641 led another rack train overnight. Nice to finally see some foreign power on the CN Flint Sub.

If E260 ran yesterday, odds are, this is an E280.

Northbound racks and boxes mostly by Royal Oak 14:00, BNSF 7128 7622, had a hotbox near end of train. Train stopped, have to cut the car out for stuck brake, is okay to proceed north when that's done.
