New signal trackside mast for w/b leaving Battle Creek yard to CP Barton, presumably replacing the current signal bridge there.

Re: CN Updates January 2016
Yesterday (1-24) I went to Flat Rock and saw "Bessemer" SD38-2 #878 still there!!!! It was parked near the DTI Caboose #140 in the yard! Also, Blue GTW GP38-2 #5831 was coupled to it! I "Requested" permission to take pix there, but was "Denied!!!!" The "Bessemer" unit could be seen from Vreeland Road too!!!! A train was working the "Hump" on the east end with RCO "CN" painted GTW GP38-2 #5817 and "CN" painted GTW GP38-2 #4904!!!! Also, from Hall Road, a train was switching "Auto Racks" with "CN" painted GTW GP38-2 #4900!!!!

Re: CN Updates January 2016
I would guess the GTW 4909. The horn was of a GTW GP38-2.

I would also guess the GTW 4909, as that's what I have been hearing from Desk 8 the past few days.ConrailDetroit wrote:I would guess the GTW 4909. The horn was of a GTW GP38-2.

Re: CN Updates January 2016
Thanks GTW! I assume the signal bridges both at CP Gord and Baron will be replaced both on CN and NS/Amtrak?GTW wrote:BCTrainFan,
