GP38-2 6225 taking one 60’ hi cube box car on Belt Line. It’s for GM Stamping. This sighting confirms what heard that the stamping plant is switched on days other than Wednesday.

Also, there is a block of UP hopper cars in Pontiac Yard which usually means a run to Lava Rock in Waterford.

I think that was the third time that one has gone east in a week if that. Caught it WB solo on the 22nd, then it went back east on Saturday the 24th among 9 different BNSFs counted that day (before midnight) to grace the Flint Sub.

Still good though for one who may not have seen it yet.
