CEBX 800 is back on its journey west (destination is Kansas)
should get as far west as London, ON tonight, and sarnia by tomorrow night
it can only go 15mph and has to be stopped for other trains.

Do we know what route its taking to get to Kansas and who is hauling it CN? CP ?

Guess i should have sad it's on CN
no idea on the routing

Call up Bill Miller and ask him, I bet he knows.

IIRC when it went through last month it was on the CN through MI so I'd assume it's coming back the same way, seeing as it's on the CN now.

Can you guys let us know when that thing starts to move West from Pt. Huron? Would like to try and see it. Thanks.

I wouldn't mind seeing that roll by. I'd probably try to arrange a catch somewhere between Schoolcraft and Edwardsburg. First off, when will it be passing through Michigan? More than likely tomorrow, since it will be in Sarnia tonight, I would assume. And secondly, the real question is, what the heck is that monstrosity?

Here's a video taken by crazeejay2006 of before it went to Sarnia, ON.

It will be taking the CN Flint sub, after that, I have no clue.

C'mon now guys - does anyone know if this thing has begun moving yet??????????? I'm gathering that it got into Sarnia last night. What is the latest?????????????? Thanks.

I'm hearing it got to Port Huron at 6pm last night, but don't have anything further than that this morning.

Hey, calm down. Not everyone is always in the know about this stuff. Some of us have lives outside tracking movements. Nobody is going to sit on the computer and phone all day just to track this thing and let other people know where it is. RELAX.

Dave gets a little excited when there's an additional train on CN

Sorry. I'm calm. Didn't mean to have my post come across that way - didn't mean anything by it, just would like to see it.

I bet if it did indeed get into Pt. Huron at 6PM last night, its probably long gone by now. Ahhhh, maybe next time.

"Dave gets a little excited when there's an additional train on CN" - LOL! Yes, I admit it.

David Lang

I'm hearing it departed Port Huron at 11:15am westbound, but don't have any real confirmation.
Get out there Dave and go get a visual for us

I'd love to know what they bill for moving this thing. It's a single car moving at very slow speeds going a long distance and it delays every train it passes. Anyone with any insights about what they charge to move this? It's got to be astronomical I'd guess they charge 10x more than typical freight charge.

I BELIEVE THIS IS THE CAR.
