Re: CN Train Location Updates Sept 2024
I can’t say I’ve seen this before at this time of the night, but as of 12:10am there are TWO northbounds lined up by Opdyke Road. Train on M1 is Amtrak 354, and the train on M2 is a mystery train, nothing has left Flat Rock in the last several hours so I’m wondering if this is a very late L513 heading home. I will report back with what I find.

By Opdyke at 12:50. I wonder if he made a belt line run tonight and ended up going down the hill later. Four tank cars going north with 5417 leading long hood forward.

L507 north by Charing Cross at 7 on the dot. CN 8828 and a short train (very few intermodal cars as well).
Nearly had a tragedy about a 3/4 mile down the tracks with someone walking in the gauge of the track as it was barreling north. Lots of horn used by the crew.

19:05 - "251" thru MP 225 with 8858 and 5666 leading. Not sure if E251 or X251 as my friend said E251 likely passed already.

Sounds like 364 hit a vehicle at Main St. in Lapeer.
Re: CN Train Location Updates Sept 2024
03:48 - EB thru Okemos with 8873* and 224x* leading. Too dark for a good read on the numbers, but lots of empty center-beams and a handful of racks.
04:30 - WB thru Trowbridge on M2 with 2854 and 3875 leading. Lots of CNPX covered hoppers (in the 1600xx range), so new you could smell the paint as they slowed to stop at Cedar. Build date was 09-24. Maybe L501.
04:42 - EB thru Trowbridge on M1 with 5719* and 5627* leading. Purely intermodal and racks, maybe an early Q116? Again too dark for numbers.
