CN Updates - March 2018

[bnsfben]

L50461-05 just completed picking up about 50 cars in durand. Departing eastbound at 11,000 feet and a pair of Gevos at 1300

[Manistique]

Two light engines went SB past MP 22.5 around 6 pm. Maybe for an extra container train out of Moterm tonight?

The weekend local with 6223 NB past MP 22.5 at 6:45 pm returning to Pontiac with a very long train of mostly loaded centerbeams. Maybe from the CR interchange? Usually they just go south on the local to that distributor on 7 Mile Road in Detroit.

Wb stack train with cn leader and gecx trailing by potterville at 1906 on m2, short wb waiting on m1, eb passed the stack train at maple and had an approach at cory.

[Manistique]

That extra doublestack I thought might come by just went NB past MP 22.5 at 8:14 pm. Maybe that weekend 326 to and from Prince Rupert?

[SD40-2]

M38331 10 had CN 2525 - CN 8820 - IC 6203 (Black/OLS) through Brantford at 18:07

[kc8bdr]

I caught a southbound at Williams Lake Rd at 9:53 PM all intermodal containers.

CN 2602 leading
CN 56?? or CN 57?? I don't recall (Feel free to fill that in if known.)

I am thinking this might be something other than 116. Maybe an opposite direction to the possible 326 that Manistique mentioned.

Q189 and Q190 were the symbols for those intermodals. 189 had CN 2632 and 8816. Didnt wait for 190 to come down.

515 was supposed to drop those loads at Nolan but something came up so they kept the cars and returned to Pontiac.

533 - UP 4723.

391 - CSXT 831.

385 - CN 2546 and 5765.

So that was 190 I caught, that is a new one for me.

Thanks for the information.

This was a Q120, which is a new symbol to me. Also, as of 8:00 PM, there was a windmill train WB near Lapeer. Was planning to meet Q120 near Belsay.

The windmill train came through East Lansing about 22:27 and met an eastbound at Cedar.
