Re: CN Train Location Updates - August 2023
A possible extra intermodal is about to leave Moterm, would be using one of 508’s engines from earlier.
8:35 PM: Some NS power just brought what appears to be a GLC grain train across the diamond at Durand. Don’t think I’ve ever seen that before on the camera!

Re: CN Train Location Updates - August 2023
Maybe this is what I heard go past MP 22.5 last night around midnight. But it had DPU in the middle of it from the sound of it. Only trains with DPU's on the Holly usually were those weekly container trains out of Prince Rupert that ran once a week a few years ago. What happened to them? I didn't get up to see it.LansingRailFan wrote: ↑Tue Aug 15, 2023 9:02 pmEB M356 with CN 2279/CN 8803 thru Charlotte at 20:35 - destination: Flat Rock

An early 116, I presume, is passing MP 22.5 at 11:47 am. All racks, no stacks. Short train. Two CN's.

NB 515 just passed MP 22.5 at 1:15 pm with a long train that looks like it was mostly Conrail interchange cars.

251 passing MP 22.5 at 5:21 pm with four units, all working, fourth one a BNSF. Looks like it will stab Amtrak 355 scheduled to leave Pontiac in a couple minutes. Also looks like it is on Main 1, Amtrak's track. Yikes. Two blue GTW hicubes in the train in very good shape. A lot of mixed freight including covered hoppers galore, sand and otherwise. Then the mile or so of autoracks on the end. Long train.

Re: CN Train Location Updates - August 2023
If I've hear correctly that's the second one. A few days ago they had a pair of ns on a G train they ran all the way to Oakley and back. It would be neat to see some foreign power out on their system, especially ge units.David Collins wrote: ↑Tue Aug 15, 2023 8:32 pm

First well of intermodal has a smaller white container with "STOW-IT | Sales & Rentals" in red text. Seen via friend's FB video. A new-to-me type of container

W968 is between Scotland and CP Max with GTW 5934 and a CCP Jordan Spreader. MOW is using it to dig out ditches on the South Bend and soon, Flint and Holly Subdivisions.
