E251 appeared on Fort St. cam in Trenton at 12:24. BNSF x2. Likelihood is #5043 + #6671 that led yesterday's E280. Both were spun that #5043 (yellow letters) leads E251.

GTW #5855 lhf brought back 40 coke empties NB on cam just after 10:00, At 12:53, 47 loaded SB. Saw the empties by chance scanning for the aforementioned SB -- speaking of that 09:07:00 SB, aside from leader #8813, #5740 + #2980 + #293? the other numbers.

Re: CN Train Location Updates - July 2023
Well, I wasn't able to post since I was at work! What time did EB P276 with new VIA "Venture" set pass Port Huron? Again I miss another one of these!!!! Yeah, it looks great with the "New" UP 6519, AC44C6M!!!! Speaking of "AC44C6M" units, I just caught southbound 383(?) with a new CN AC44C6M (ex C44-9W), #3305!!!! Here's my first time seeing one leading and only the second time seeing one since last fall which was trailing!!!! What locomotive number was 3305 in the past? Also, saw my first new house nearby!!!!

CN3305 was a rebuild of CN2563, according to Canadian Railway Observations issue June 2022.
And here's when I realized my Morning Sun Books' CN Power in Color Vol 5 is well out of date as it was printed before those Dash-9 rebuilds.

Amtrak 355 about an hour and a half late leaving Pontiac today due to a late arrival because of problems with 351 hitting a pedestrian in Kalamazoo this morning tying up traffic.
