12:50 - L575 with coke loads south by Northline Road in Wyandotte. CN x1 (it was probably 5450, had to finish crossing the tracks as the signals went off).

[Delray]

Fully loaded coke by the Fort St cam at 14:11

Otherwise it's been quite on this line

Same train as:

12:50 - L575 with coke loads south by Northline Road in Wyandotte. CN x1 (it was probably 5450, had to finish crossing the tracks as the signals went off).

After rewinding the Fort Street cam, it was indeed 5450.

Eastbound by Trowbridge at 1031

[Graham Halverson]

Q116 came through Royal Oak at about 4:30. Two M-2s. Strangely there were two single-loaded well cars and one empty wellcar (separately) in the middle. Crew must’ve been mad about that one.



L507 passed the Fort St cam at 4:17. CN X4. Ex-Citirail trailing 3/4. Could the last two units be used for the 507/508 rotation?
