Re: CN Updates July 2020
Well there is another X-train out there. CN 2683 is leading train X-401. This might have been the 451 that I posted about earlier as I was not sure if it was truly 451 or not. 401 is a number they either discontinued or changed since the virus and it became 451 I think. Don't know where this train ...

Re: CSX Train Location Updates: June, 2020.
NB engine set just turned east at Plymouth. CSX 5221 + 8839. UPDATE: they turned around and went back south with 5221 still leading. There was a CSX X253 that went north to Plymouth (from I don't know where) to turn around and grab an empty ballast train and take it south. This must have been the p...

NS 332 is back. Don't know if today is the first day, or if it has been back for a few days. Anyway, NB through Wyandotte at about 12:40 PM. Not sure if they have work at River Rouge.

Re: Quick I&O question.
When IORY is departing Flat Rock SB, I have been hearing them give a symbol of what sounds like I999 lately. Can anyone confirm? And does it have the same symbol going both north and south?

Re: Detroit River Tunnel Trains
Here are the current trains I know of: - Transfer to CSX at Rougemere (T21) and return trip to Windsor (T20). Has been arriving at Rougemere in the early overnight hours lately. - Transfer to NS to at Oakwood (usually T27, sometimes has a T41 symbol) and return trip to Windsor (T28 or T40). Usually ...

Re: Conrail Train Location Updates 2019
LV-9, NS 5018 shoving back to Livernois with 2 cars from Kenwal Steel. CSX calls this train Z673. I wish CSX would use Conrail's symbols.

Re: CN Updates - February 2020
When I hear the evening Pontiac job on the scanner, it's been referenced as L513. I don't know how often they go as far as East Yard, but I've heard them going to work customers on the south end of the Holly Sub, such as Sterling and Metro. My understanding is that it's also 513's job to switch the ...

Re: Detroit Yards
The busiest yards would be Rougemere for CSX in Dearborn, Oakwood for NS in Melvindale, Flat Rock and Flint for CN, and River Rouge, Livernois, and North Yard for Conrail (first is in River Rouge, latter two in Detroit). Best bet for public viewing are the roads along the east side of CSX Rougemere....

Re: Lake State Coal
While it's nice for those who live near the CSX and LSRC, trainwatchers on the CN and HESR miss seeing the coal trains. The long track in Durand yard where the coal trains parked, formerly the AA main, appeared to be full of auto racks recently. I've heard that CN is storing the autoracks there for...

Re: CN Updates - January 2020
According to the wiki, there is/was an M393 that runs daily between Toronto and West Chicago. Was that one abolished? I haven't heard of a 393 coming west across Michigan in maybe a few months or so? And when they did come last year, they tended to have an X393 symbol. But maybe there's a regular 3...

Re: CN Updates - January 2020
Ok, so now that's the second time I have read about A482 on the Mt. Clemens sub and I have to ask. What is this train? Does M382 still run? Also...heard the dispatcher talking to train 491 this morning. What train is this and where does he run? (I think there was a 491 that ran on the Holly Sub rec...

Re: New CSX Train Q266
Thanks. I swear I checked that wiki not long before I posted. Ah, well. Anyway, as far as I know, the only regular trains to/from Rougemere that work New Boston are WB/SB Q266 (leaves in the morning), WB/SB Q276 (leaves in the afternoon), NB/EB Q253 (usually arrives in the evening), and NB/EB Q299 (...
