18:59 - A492 calling a stop indication at Trowbridge M2, holding for CSX L302.
19:04 - A492 proceeding east from Trowbridge on M2. I think they will hold the main for a WB at Shaftsburg (CN M301).

A NB is flying by MP 22.5 on the Holly at 9:48 pm with eight locomotives including three ex-Citi lease units and two BNSF and a lot of mixed freight up front and racks behind. Probably a late running 251 as I never saw that train today or an extra 251 if I missed the original one.

No Amtrak 350 yet though it still shows up as running late on the Amtrak Train Status Report. It is time for 352 to be going by now but the status report shows it running an hour and 44 minutes late.

That eight loco NB was E251. They ended up working in Pontiac as well.

E251 w CN 2940/CN 3948/BNSF 3943/BNSF 7344/CN 5775/CN 2301/CN 3935/CN 3036

3948 and 3935 are ex-CitiRail

A491 left Bristol in Flint with X301 still in Flint area behind 491 a ways. For whatever reason, they lined A491 onto M1 at E Durand and lined through Durand and onto Bancroft, but when X301 gets to Durand, they have him lined on M2/main across there. He's still going to be behind 491 anyway.

Clear signal at mp223 for E271.

12:03: CSX H710 eastward from Flint at cpBelsay onward to PH

Southbound through Pontiac with a long string of vehicle racks ( I’m guessing empties) and containers. CN EMD F and GE R just as God intended 🙂.
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...
