NS 3277 stopped blocking Arkona Rd (east of Milan) with 1 Rail box boxcar, 1 TCMX covered hopper and a bunch of IM container flats on the RSGU 4510 and 4339 first two containers. Crew was setting the handbrakeson the container flats before they disconnect them and the power and two cars headed west at 8:45 pm then backed EB down the siding track, stopping just east of the crossing to pick up crew members from on the ground then dropped the first two cars, before coming west lite power, stopping just west of the road and heading to pick up the container flats.

What train would this be and what are the containers. They seem smaller than a normal container.

Townline is a location that's not on the Detroit District, which probably means this year's train may have been diverted.

EDIT: It wasn't diverted, CPKC 02H passed the Uniroyal Tire in Allen Park at 22:46 and crossed Telegraph Road in Taylor at 23:03.

The train was CSX B20406, a SB potash empty from Jeffersonville, IN to Florida. Engine is fine. The tail end was hit. About 25 empty hoppers on the ground.

Never trust that site.
