E271 was by Mount Clemens depot at 00:05. CN/CN.
M383 at Eveland curve (MP 39.6) early a.m.
L515N (CN 5430) at Fraser with 28 cars at 09:45.
L515S by South Mount at 11:30 with 17 cars.
M385 by Mount Clemens depot at 12:55. CN/CN, 103 cars.

Lots of MoW work on the MTC today. Welded rail has been dropped for the major curves (Eveland/Richmond and Palms/Columbus).

CN Railroad Police now work out of the Mount Clemens Engineering Office on Mary Street across from the depot and keep a vehicle there, so watch it you troublemakers.

FYI for those without felonies, BNSF 2098, the green BN scheme GP38-2 from a few days ago is on A435 to Windsor. Might be the new local power in Windsor for a bit.
