Re: CN - May 2017
I understand that a rail grinder is on the Flint sub at Bancroft. I don't know direction of travel or weather main 1, or main 2.

Re: CN - May 2017
533, CN 5662, is okay from Nolan to Tappan at 2036. Sounds like the NS is blocking 533 at Forest Lawn.

Re: CN - May 2017
Thinking about it, I wonder if these two locomotives were off of Tuesday night's 116 as, per my post yesterday morning, Train 950 took the doublestack train down the Moterm with it in the morning with 4901. CN is getting creative with its use of crews and locomotives.kc8bdr wrote:Train 765, CN 89?? And a second unit cleared the detector northbound at 6:56 PM.

Does anyone know if/when this Loram® "Rail Grinder" is coming down the "Mt. Clemens Subdivision"? I have never got photographs of them working─
but have seen it!!!! It is "Amazing!!!!"
I saw this "Spectacle" going northbound on the "Mt. Clemens" Sub. in 1998 (took VHS video of that one)! Last I saw it 7-11-2013 (just a cell phone video (I don't like doing))! Here's what I said after that:

This was 533! I happened to see it from "Afar" heading south, Roseville before 3 p.m. Now, it had two engines. This train has been using two engines lately!!!!
Last weekend I heard on the scanner that it was heading to Pontiac! Is this a new route for train #533? Why would they go to Pontiac?

OK, I also heard one of the days last week that the engines were changing trains. Does 533 still return to Port Huron? It seems weird to "Transfer" engines to another train!

Re: CN - May 2017
A southbound just cleared the detector MP 34.2, with 402 axels. at 5:23 PM.
A possible 502?
Edit to add:
CN 2679 leading.
