There's a southbound on the Mt. Clemens Sub moving quite slowly south of Mt. Clemens. No scanner, but it looked like the train was stopped or almost stopped around the area where the Mt Clemens Sub crosses Groesbeck Hwy between 19 Mile Road and Metropolitan Parkway (16 Mile Road)...

A 5700 leading another 5700 and a 2600, the latter two not helping any, just going along for the ride today. Passing MP 22.5 at 6:55 pm.

NB 515 with 5430 today passed MP 22.2 on the Holly at 12:45 pm on Main 2.

Main 1 had a green signal and I presume 251 is on the Holly now heading this way.

Passing MP 22.5 on the Holly at 2 pm. First two locomotives are working their guts out. The second two seem to be dead in tow.

And Amtrak 350 is just going past MP 22.5 very slowly. It must be on 251's block. I wonder why they ran 251 on Main 1 with Amtrak right behind him. 515 was on Main 2 so that is in service. No wonder Biden gave KCS to CP instead of CN! Sheesh.
