Well, it was really rainy yesterday, and decided to forget about DINA, but I still went out to look for trains anyway.
While listening to the scanner, I heard D709 departing Lansing, and that they had CSXT 6048...."HEY Thats a GP40-2!! I never see those!" So I went out to see if I could get a shot of him.
Here is, with his 11 car train, coming up the hill at Harrison Road:
Since I was already out there to get 709, I decided to stick around to see what else would come by.
Didn't have to wait that long:
First up is this 114 car coal train for Detroit Edison in Monroe. BNSF SD70MACs 9470 and 9472 provide the power:
Followed shortly by Westbound #281, with GT 5941 on the point:
The lights are dimmed because he is about to meet a stopped eastbound at the diamonds.
Ten minutes later, 149 comes around the Corner and into town behind A CN SD70I/SD40-2W and a UP SD40-2:
After 149 passed, the eastbound at the diamonds got the signal to go east. CN 2687 and 5787 haul it past the station:
I waited around for a while after this, but nothing came by, so I went home.
Pretty productive for just two hours time.
Hope you all enjoyed.

No plant in Holly, just a bunch of old building, a pond, and some tracks.
