Re: CN Updates
For anyone in Port Huron or Canada, 398 rolled thru Durand and Flint within the last hour.
Also, 396 is working the yard at the moment in Durand.
Anyone in Battle Creek, 397 is on the way, after having done a crew change with 396 just west of Durand.
CN has been having crews swap trains and return to origination cities a lot this week. Maybe they are finally cutting back on using cabs.

396 just departed Durand.
502 is in the yard in Durand now. Came in with just a U.P. unit I believe based on what I heard on the scanner.
Another eastbound is coming into town, lined to Oak st. I'll advise later if I hear what train it is

It would be pretty early for 490. It's usually in the yard between 9pm and 1am. It used to come in around Amtrak

Heads-up on CN 301 if all the power continues through.
CN 2430 - CN 2413 - CN 1419 (GMD1)
124 cars including a CN articulated covered hopper.
Train was by Brantford @ 12:15. I suspect it's across into Michigan by now.

385 got the signals for Shoreline about 15 minutes ago. They will be following 766 and meeting 491 along the way.
384 is up around Haven with a track warrant good to Tappan.

For anyone in Durand, Port Huron, Sarnia, etc...
302 just went thru e.lansing. As a previous post mentioned, BC Rail 4646 as 2nd unit.
Also worth noting, there were 3 eastbounds by e.lansing between 715 and 830 ahead of Amtrak. Flint was congested according to TD2... Amtrak lost 56 mins. there. Amtrak followed 394 out of Flint for anyone waiting for 394 or those other eastbounds out to the east of here.

Re: CN Updates
354 has 90222 on the front and I think has 30 on the rear. 491 is in Ferndale getting about ready to do their work at Moterm.
