they already reported it thru Royal Oak above... is there an x391 out there too?

[GTWChris]

No they were having problems with 5854 and was moving slowly, from my understanding 5854 is back running.

Where did they snatch 4912 from? Guess thats what they get for putting that 5854 on the head of this train.

[kc8bdr]

4912 is the engine that has been getting a lot of use for local trains over the last few weeks. They had been keeping it in the yard at Pontiac between uses.

The old Back and Orange/Red paint scheme used by the CN family in the 60's and 70's remains my favorite

[RailCanon]

Those along the Flint sub should be advised to look or listen for the Santa train today. It was (possibly still is) sitting in Battle Creek yard this morning. Both IC E-units and three passenger cars.
