391 north at mp 59 at 23:47

The 8826 had 248 axles. I didn't get an ID either, but 116 seems very likely.

As of 3am, there are 2 trains working Durand.

I swear if EJ&E 667 comes to Lansing, MI and is the switcher at Hope and Cory Yards to help out the trains that stop there, I will be happy! First off, just need to catch it which is priority 1

CN Train - Truck collision in Battle Creek today, Thur, Aug, 18. I searched this blog, but there is no mention. Am I reading the wrong blog? Wife says reported as a Canadian train.

Any reports? See link below:
