11:43: 10N led by NS 4032 (1995/2017 AC44C6M) and NS 9462 (2000 D9-44CW, still bearing the old stripes logo!) crossed Oak Street in Wyandotte. As 10N passed through, 358, led by NS 1837 (1994/2019 SD70ACC) and NS 8114 (2012 ES44AC, Original Norfolk Southern HU), received permission to pass thru Wyandotte.

12:34: 358 is currently setting off cars at River Rouge Yard.
Man, I’m sad I missed that, wouldn’t have passed too far from me.

I’ve noticed they’ve been stopping a lot through Wyandotte lately, particularly in the afternoon. Twice this week I saw Pennsylvania Rd blocked by a stopped train. Yesterday’s train was REALLY long, it blocked Pennsylvania, Sibley and almost got to King Rd.

21:00. -11N just flew thru Monroe. NS 9610 and 1072 (Illinois Terminal). Took about 2 mins to clear Hurd Rd.

Also that NS 882 w the exec mac pair ran to Monroe as NS B51. It’s there now. Apparently it can be a quick turn so most likely will leave tomorrow

NS through Dexter.

Yesterday (Saturday May 13th) at mid-afternoon NS went westbound through Dexter. I did not see the head end, as they approched while I was pre-occupied. It was unusual and unexpected as NS has not been running day freights on the days I've been in Dexter since last summer/early fall. It had a combination of NS coil cars, some tank cars and DME covered hoppers, all commonly seen on the local between Jackson and Wayne.

Does NS normally run daytime freight on weekends, or was this a unique situation. Also, Amtrak 355 was about 2 hours behind schedule on the east end of the line yesterday.

Thought it was gonna go out on 121 this morning, never did. However, if all goes according to plan, it'll be on 31M with two other engines running LHF elephant style. Doubt it'll lead though.

10:00 - EB CP 230 and CP 528 thru Adrian back to back.

12:15 - EB CP 734 with UP 5711 solo thru Adrian

734 is a new rack train symbol for CP. May have replaced 234.
