At 23:19 an eastbound passed Hagadorn on Main 1, CN 3164 leading, and an unknown ex-CitiRail unit bringing up the rear.
Did that train originate in Flat Rock by chance? The yard was loaded with empty well cars the last 2(ish) weeks. Most, if not all, of them were gone when I drove by this weekend.Dan Cluley wrote: ↑Sun Nov 06, 2022 10:56 pmWestbound with CN 3050 solo through East Lansing at 22:56. Mostly empty well cars.

Chip - yes it did. This is an X393 for the UP in West Chicago. M393 is usually run out of Battle Creek. Last night/this morning they had a M39361, X39361 out of BC and then this X39361 out of Flat Rock, all for the Union Pacific.Chip wrote: ↑Mon Nov 07, 2022 7:22 amDid that train originate in Flat Rock by chance?

11/7/22 12:42 53 degrees at CN Charlotte as CN 3275 and CN 2935 (with CN 2185, CN 2193, CN 2140 dead in tow) power 492 as it passes the old GTW depot and runs over the ChS junction switch. Today’s 492 is another FUNERAL TRAIN of 3 Dash-8s.Robertrains wrote: ↑Sun Nov 06, 2022 6:38 amCSX Train 568 has just departed Walbridge Yard on train (per Facebook® Gavin McLennan)!

The first batch (CN 2454/BCOL 4612/IC 2460/CN 2156/CN 2177) are already at CSX in Walbridge! The others actually went on train 383 early this morning (11-3)! There was a CN "Cowl," number 2415 not 2145! These engines are CN 2415, CN 2194, CN 2143, CN 2145, and CN 2155!!!!![]()

L515 stalled on the hill this evening, jettisoned the train, and headed to Pontiac light loco. SB locos coming with more HP to rescue.Manistique wrote: ↑Mon Nov 07, 2022 6:43 pmWeird power moves at MP 22.5 on the Holly this afternoon. Around 6 pm what seemed like a single lite locomotive drifted NB very slowly. It was dark so didn't see it well. Maybe 515 returning with a very short train or no train?
And just now at 6:42 pm two light locomotives drifted very slowly SB past the house. Maybe 508 with no cars? Is 508 still running now that 116 is running on the Holly again?
NB 515 is rolling by MP 22.5 right now at 7 pm. Looks like they are just starting out so the stall must have been pretty close by. Three locomotives now. Thanks for the report. I would really have been confused seeing this train right now. We haven't had a stall in the Hill in a long time.GTWChris wrote: ↑Mon Nov 07, 2022 6:53 pmL515 stalled on the hill this evening, jettisoned the train, and headed to Pontiac light loco.
