Re: CN Train Location Updates - August 2023
This was M394 with 3240 + 3833 on the head end and 3017 mid-train. Thru Trowbridge at 18:58 with manifest traffic.
Eastbound by MP 205 at 23:40 with intermodal and racks, sounded like an M-2 on the head end. Z148? Thru East Lansing at 00:19.
No traffic thru East Lansing between 19:00 and 00:00, another eastbound is lined off of M2 at Walton.
