M394 east clear mp205 cam at 14:37:55. CN duo #3888 & #3911 + mid-dpu CN #2876. 730 axles
M394 will meet B731 between cpPotterville mp208.3 and cpMaple mp210.4. B731 power unknown yet as a friend gave that info seeing it in person. What I can say though is it loses by 10 axles to M394. B731 with 720 axles.
B731 west appears on mp205 cam at 15:19:48. CN duo #3093 & #2894.

Re: CN Train Location Updates - August 2022
No , not a new train, they've just extended the limits to include FCA in Mount Clemens. L515 has worked the south end of the MTC sub for years, but only as far as Nolan/Gillen yards (Nolan Lumber Distribution/CN CargoFlo - Polyterm/ C.J. Link). L515 will now work south of Mount Clemens and L533 will work north (Carter Lumber/B&D Drywall). The FCA business comes from/goes to Mexico, so rather than run the cars from the west all the way to Port Huron, they go down the Holly to Pontiac for L515 to deal with. If you are in Mount Clemens proper, you will see more activity with regard to locals now - until they change it up again...Robertrains wrote: ↑Tue Aug 23, 2022 3:54 pmIs this a new train?

Re: CN Train Location Updates - August 2022
SB Train 515 with 5323 again just passed MP 22.5 on the Holly at 7:10 am with a short train on its new earlier schedule.
I read about 515's expanded duties (up to Mount Clemens). I wonder if CN is having second thoughts about pulling up East Yard (well, most of it) and not basing any crews out of there anymore? Probably not. Sure is a long way from Pontiac to Mount Clemens, though.
