Q122 through Capac @ 07:15. 85 cars through there (10 intermodal & 75 racks). They met Amtrak 365 in Imlay City. I loved hearing those -9s roar through this morning.

I think they were working the Durand yard.

Either way it looks like 508 is on its way

Well those two were actually doing yard work for HER. Instead of the usual HESR units they brought the two CN units to do their work. Pretty strange

They were pulling tracks of cars to take back to Flint.

HESR sorts all the cars in the yard for CN, GLC or HESR themselves to pickup.

This job out of Flint is usually done overnight and not during the day.
