North towards Cohoctah. Steam engine is facing north, GLC #398 is on the other end of the train, facing south.

Thanks!

For these trips do they go south thru town or north towards cohoctah?

116 with CN 2804 in the lead clear East Lansing at 22:32. Moving slow, believe he will hold at Okemos for a westbound.

149 clearing Okemos at 8:34 with CN 2287 solo. I thought when the gates went down that this would be Amtrak at this time.

Westbound thru Haslett at 19:31. CN leading BC Rail 4623

149 going thru okemos now, 4 units including a gtw 4944? As the 4th unit. Might be wrong on the number for it, but it's in CN colors.

Westbound through Haslett CN 3019 leading 3092.

Good to know, I appreciate all the info

I went up to Whitefish Point yesterday and on the way back managed to catch an eastbound CN in Trout Lake with CN 8858, and 2228 as a DPU mid train. I only make it to the area once per year so I was pleasantly surprised to catch this around 4:30 as it was headed for Sault Saint Marie. The yard/sidin...

Either a very late or very early 149 just flew through Haslett, MP 229 Flint Sub. CN 5661 leading CN 5734.

EJE 661 is 3rd unit on EB through Charlotte at 1130

BNSF 9213 led a 5 engine empty coal west through East Lansing at 15:41. Not sure if this was 765 from Durand or 767

Clear Okemos 12:16
