Re: CN Updates August 2016
CCRRAAPP!!!!! I sure hope EJ&E 667 hasn't left out turf!!! Me and my bud Kyle (Wabash1070) were "REALLY" wanting to see this (he's never seen a EJ&E). But it'll be good if it's in Gary, IN cause I'm taking a trip there tomorrow through Sunday so there's a good chance I'll see Any EJ&E equipment there and if I'm VERY LUCKY (if theses are still running), I'll see a "Yellow" or "Green" EJ&E!!Robertrains wrote:MtClemensRailFan wrote:515, GTW 4907, is working between MP 13 and Nolan. 950, GTW 4626, is working on the Holly sub north of Milwaukee Jct.

Re: CN Updates August 2016
It looks like they only have the SD38-2, SD38-3 and one GP38-2 locomotives! No more"Green" switchers! Man I wish CN didn't purchase this railroad!!!!SD70ACe Fan wrote:EJ&E equipment there and if I'm VERY LUCKY (if theses are still running), I'll see a "Yellow" or "Green" EJ&E!!

Re: CN Updates August 2016
Well, I'm officially "Upset" but also have "Existing Information". I found out where EJ&E 669 is!!! From a report on Heritageunits.com, someone has reported EJ&E 669 at "Pine Jct." at Gary, IN which is the EXACT place I'm gonna be in 24 hours, all out there wish me luck for this and any other EJ&E, BLE, GTW, and any other stuff. I will post a little topic on the site called "Railfanning Gary, IN" and will post almost every train in there!!!

Re: CN Updates August 2016
Well, we at least now know that EJ&E 667 is still on the idk the Holly sub??? Anyway... Don't worry guys, today is the big day I'm going to Gary, IN and I heard that EJ&E 669 (former Battle Creek local engine) AND GTW 4632 are down there. If I don't see it but I see a CN worker, I can ask nicely to in the yard to find it, it's what I did on May 7th when CN 4916 (ex GTW) and EJ&E 656 were switching the yard and yes, I did see them, besides EJ&E 656, I think it's still working trains on the CN Flat Rock line.Robertrains wrote:kc8bdr wrote:EJ&E 667 is Heading north out of Pontiac crossed Airport, Rd. at 4:55 AM

Re: CN Updates August 2016
533, CN 2163, is okay from South Haven and Nolan at 1336. Joint authority with 515, GTW 4626, and a couple of foreman.
Re: CN Updates August 2016
Not sure of train symbol or even direction at first post but a CN train is blocking the crossings in Okemos and Haslett as an air hose popped and cars separated. This happened around 1, police say could be a couple more hours. I'll post any updates I can get. This was on the single track so don't be surprised to see trains holding at Lansing, shaftsburg, Vernon if anything is around.
Update, sounds like it's 397 and has a broken draw bar. Eastbound waiting for it to get moving again at Okemos.
