This should be referred to as "GTW 5854." It is in CN paint─but still has GTW reporting marks!

Today, more of a normal schedule. Incidently, the constant locals shuttling yesterday were mostly hot lumber loads for Detroit (per Homewood Dispatcher).

CN main closed @ Charlotte
Fire call came in this morning about 8:25am for structure fire at grain complex next to CN main in Charlotte,MI. Drove near CN main about 8:50am and noticed aerial firetruck was parked right next to main with possible CN rail truck located nearby. Have heard no rail traffic since this time, assuming westbound Amtrak was held up east of Charlotte due to closure.
