Yes. It’s BNSF 7155. Should be on the Holly by now.

Also, M385 has CN 8883/CN 8952 (GTW HU) leading/trailing at 09:15 at CP Ash in Kimball, MI

385, GTW heritage unit trailing, south at Richmond at 0940.

20:00 last night, an X117 out of Moterm rounded the Chicago Wye in Durand bound for western Canada.

04:35 - WB X117 by the Griffith, IN rail cam

385, GTW heritage unit trailing, south at Richmond at 0940.

Well, missed this one! It would be nice to see CN "GTW Heritage" SD70M-2 #8952 leading! It probably will be late tomorrow night on northbound train 384!!!! Though sometimes when they run 385 early (like today), the following night's 384 would be earlier! It'd be nice if it came back through Fraser with enough daylight!!!!

Here is a video of this train without the usual "Truck Chassis" in New Haven, MI, 5-7-23 (©BK-CNrailfan): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsIz6cpRC1g

251 through Trenton at 12:48

CN 8933
CN ?323

[LansingRailFan]

14:55 - NB X251 outta Flat Rock with CN 5604/CN 2604 - all autoracks

Sounds like L507, E251 and X251 all gonna follow each other north

[Delray]

M385 went by the fort St cam @ 13:47

116 or 280 maybe went by @ 14:05 solo BNSF

CN 5669 & 2 other CN went by at 15:16 x251?

Never seen this camera so busy

[Robertrains]

M385 went by the fort St cam @ 13:47

Wait guys! Did 385 truly have the "GTW Heritage" on it? Why did it take so long to get to Detroit? I think the earlier one reported was actually train 383! It had no "Truck Chassis" and came in the morning like 383 usually does!!!! LansingRailfan/bnsfben!

EDIT: Yes it was train 385 since it went to Flat Rock!!!!

E251 north Royal Oak 1607. M-2, Gevo.

L508 south clear cpGaines Holly sub mp62.15 at 17:27. CN duo #8834 + #5735

[LansingRailFan]

16:25 - WB M371 with CN 5793/CN 5726 thru Charlotte

[Manistique]

Extra 251 went past MP 22.5 on the Holly around 5:30 pm and was slowing down to let Amtrak 355 depart Pontiac. So much for a two track mainline through here.

[Manistique]

And the third NB of the evening just went by, 507, at 6:55 pm.

[MtClemensRailFan]

M382 through Common Rd. @ 20:22. CN 3236, 3170, 3842, & 5674 with 137 cars.
