NB 515 just passed MP 22.5 with 8 NS 85 foot hicubes (one still in Southern paint) and four loaded gondolas of scrap from DCON. Odd to see hicubes on this train, least of all on the Holly now a days. I wonder if Chrysler Mount Clemens is getting them now instead of the 60 foot boxcars?

116? CN x2 SB Birmingham

[bluewonderrails]

E271 west clear East Lansing at 12:13. CN duo #8819 + #2537. He'll work Cory. Has a stop signal at cpCedar for WB R934 from Thorofare direct to M1 at cpMill also going to Cory. The cpCedar stop likely to prevent car traffic from waiting longer than it needs to.

116? CN x2 SB Birmingham

Very likely. Q116 was east by mp202 as early as 09:17. IC #2716 + CN #5641.

There was a lot of congestion on the rails this morning, that AMTK P365 was forced to stop on M1 at cpMaple mp210.46. Didn't pass mp205 cam until 09:41, about 26 minutes later than usual, having left East Lansing Station on time. 116 didn't quite have anywhere else to wait or go, so CN let that through from BC onward.
