Railfanning from East Lansing to Durand, MI ft. CN R942 works Durand Yard, CN meets,+ more! (7/7/26)

On 7/7/26, I decided to do a railfanning adventure between East Lansing's Amtrak station and Durand Union Station. I started the day out in East Lansing with a meet of CN M302 and Amtrak P365. After that I decided to make a stop at Jubilee Park in Perry, MI to catch one Eastbound, CN L501 returning back to Flint. After that was Q116 in Downtown Bancroft. Then spent the rest of the day at Durand Union Station in which I caught a lot of cool stuff, HESR and CN R942 working Durand Yard, and CN M399 and M394 meet.
