No Amtrak 350 yet. It is 3 hours 18 minutes late into Pontiac today for some reason.

507 rolling by MP 22.5 on the Holly at 6:14 pm.

Amtrak 350 arrived Pontiac at 5:30, just about when 355 would be departing if it didn't use the same trainset.

X148 with CN 5714/CN 8856 - Richmond at 21:55 - started from Flint w 50 wells, picked up a track in Pontiac and then picked up more at Moterm before turning north onto the Mt. Clemens Sub. 2.25 miles long. Nice cleanup job.

22:00 - EB L500 is lined onto the Lansing Thorofare from Walton. Early for them.

Neat train. I saw it go past MP 22.5 right after 507 went by and just assumed it was 508 with all empties today. 508 did go by around 10 pm last night. We don't often get "circle tour" trains (Flint/Holly/Mount Clemens Subs) trains anymore.

Years ago (1990's) there was a daily one that went from Pontiac to Port Huron and back each day this route, always having three GP-9s, the last regular road train on GTW that I recall using the geeps as power. 515 was sort of that lately when it switched Mount Clemens.
