I saw this train crossing Kelly in Clinton Twp with the C40-8W solo! This was at 8:40 p.m. It's nice seeing these British Columbia Railway locos here in Michigan!!!! I think I counted 68 cars on this one!

OK, I did not mean to put the "W" instead of "M!" That's just a small thing! GTW6401 is right! Now, I just saw this same engine returning north today (8-2)! It was train "X386" and also had GTW GP38-2 #5860 with 100 cars! It came through Fraser at 5:40 p.m. Following close behind it was 529 with CN 2172 and 12 "Well Cars!"
