CN TEST TRAIN EASTBOUND IN DURAND WITH CN 6225 (EX GTW) !!!!!!!!

Where is this train headed? Could it go down the Mt. Clemens Sub.? That locomotive, #6225, is still considered "GTW" as it is "Sub-lettered!" I want to catch this train!!!!

Robert, I saw the train pass the Durand Union Station earlier today. It didn't go down the holly sub, idk where it went after Durand, all I know it was heading toward Flint with GTW/CN 6225 leading with 2 gray CN test box cars and the passenger car on the end.

I'm terrible with the train numbers but I swear I heard them say 381, oh well. Haha.

Sometimes I hear something and I'm like: "Come again?" 533, CN 2163, is clear of North Haven. 524, GTW 4926, is waiting for 385 at Haven.

I REALLY want to see EJ&E 667 before school starts up. If I don't see 667 or anything EJ&E related before Aug. 29th, I'll never see one for a while

[MtClemensRailFan]

385 had CN 8827 and what looked like a Dash 9. Through Mt. Clemens around 5:05 with 151 cars.

[MtClemensRailFan]

533 is okay from Nolan to Tappan at 1858.

Don't Worry!!!! I believe EJ&E SD38-2 #667 is still working trains between Pontiac Johnson Yard and Detroit! My suggestion would be to wait at "Johnson Yard" in Pontiac during a weekday morning! It should work—that is if EJ&E 667 is still there!!!!

CN has repainted a few "J" locos—here's EJE "Triple 6ix" SD38-3 NOW (photo by Christopher Bodkin, Carbondale, IL 2/17/2016):

If you go to Royal Oak any time from 10AM - 4PM on a weekday it should not be too difficult to find. It'll be somewhere between Pontiac and Nolan. There is a live audio feed for CN Detroit which will essentially pick everything up between Pontiac and Nolan. All you have to do is listen to the feed on your phone and you should know exactly where it is.

Ok, thanks! I'll be in Gary, IN this weekend so there's a good chance they'll be a few there at Kirk Yard!
