Re: CN Train Location Updates - March 2024
It might be in Sarnia by now, but M?332/396 had to stop west of Griswold Road (west of Tappan), with no (Customs) holds. Around 2:15 or so they were getting permission from the dispatcher to move up to 16th Street. Power was one GE locomotive and one EMD locomotive. Nothing spectacular or unusual.
Maybe this is how they normally operate; the 4 main tracks in the Port Huron yard were devoid of trains while 332/396 was being held west of the yard. I can see holding a train between Tappan and West Tappan for space in the yard, but this was a surprise. I didn't catch if they had work to do at Port Huron, which is probably done from the east end of the yard.

What looked like an early 251 with three locomotives and a short train just went past MP 22.5 at 8:54 am. He may be stabbed by departing Amtrak 353 leaving Pontiac about now.
9:09 am edit: Wrong. They held Amtrak at Pontiac for 251's passing. Now 353 is running about 15 minutes late out of the chute.

08:16 - W968 with CN 5772 running LHF goes WB across the Durand diamond. They will hold at Clara for Q116, E251 before running around the train and heading SB on the Holly
08:34 - W968 with CN 5772 lite power proceeds along the Chicago Wye and stops just to the left of the camera’s range.
08:36 - CN 5772 shoving back on the Chicago Wye.
09:20 - Q116 at Durand at - CN 5680/CSX 455 f/r
Probably running 251 and 116 early and quick to get ahead of the work block.
