CN Z148 took M1 at Cedar to bypass two westbounds between there and Okemos.
Not sure on the power or symbol for the first, which was stopped just across the diamond at Trowbridge. The second was led by 5694, which stopped with the power just over the Bouge St. crossing at MP 225.
First WB was M301

Second WB was E251 w CN 5694/CN 2305, power from the previous day’s Q116.

Thanks CRD. It seems like Nolan would have communicated that to CN but it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't.

5456 northbound in Pontiac Yard with a boxcar and long string of loaded centerbeams.

It looks like the Warren Local. Why is it carrying loaded centerbeams northbound? Those centerbeams are for the transload by 8 Mile which is south of here.

Edit: Manistique posted at the same time I did so that answers my question.

NB Train 515 passed MP 22.5 on the Holly around 12:40 pm. It had all loaded centerbeams plus one empty one on the rear end,which is odd as it is mostly loaded ones on the SB run. Probably a Conrail interchange pickup.
Nolan Distribution may not have been ready to receive the cars. May have gotten behind in unloading the previous days cars with the heavy snowfall and no room for the new loads coming in.
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...

Train 394 went east around mp202 at 15:25. CN #2950 + KCS #4782 + two ex-BNSFs now with the reporting mark of QGRY. #4018 + #4019
Hey, bluewonderrails, what kind of engines were these ex BNSF ones for Quebec & Gatineau®? COOL!!!! :shock: :shock: BNSF seems to have gotten rid of some SD70MACs recently! Was it those? What colors are they in? Any pictures? :?:
This is a picture someone posted to a group that day listing them as SD70s.

If it does have to stop anywhere, it would be for a crew change in Pontiac but that doesn’t always happen.

No - it's a direct train to Flat Rock.

Ok, just wondering what would cause it to take over 165 minutes so far to get south of Durand to Ferndale
