Re: CN Updates August 2016
I am not 100 present sure on this, but believe this was 514 returning to Flint. Yes, it was sole power on the train. It would be my guess that EJ&E 667 is hanging out at Flint.Robertrains wrote:kc8bdr wrote:EJ&E 667 is Heading north out of Pontiac crossed Airport, Rd. at 4:55 AM
Hey, was EJE SD38-2 #667 leading the train? Do you know where that engine is headed? Hey SD70ACe Fan, you may be able to find it!!!!

Re: CN Updates August 2016
C2619 (Believe this to be 391) is at Pontiac about to head back to train after working the yard. I will try to post when they head north. This was as of 10:05 PM.

Re: CN Updates August 2016
116 is somewhere out around Shaftsburg. 391 is ready to head north but is holding at Pontiac for 116. 391 gave markup but I was unable to hear the crew side of things so no details, However I do have the impression (I could be wrong) that 391 is over 12000 feet tonight. Also to add that both 116 & 391 are to long for the siding at Holly.
EDIT TO ADD :
What should be 116 is just making the turn down the Holly now (12:40 AM) Per ATCS.

Re: CN Updates August 2016
WOOHOO!!!! ok here's the EJ&E scoop. I went to Pine and didn't see anything there but some ex EJ&E gondola and coil cars. As I head back to Chesterton, I looked to my left (still in Gary) and see not 1 but 2 EJ&E painted SD38-2s. I race over there and captured EJ&E 662 & 672 both in EJ&E paint!!!! Didn't get good pics of 672 (blocked by trees) but got a BOSS pic of 662, very happy now, hopefully seeing some, I'll bring some back to the Lansing, MI area with me!!!!

Re: CN Updates August 2016
Caught a Southbound at Airport Rd. 2 Union Pacific engines for power and all auto racks. Not sure Train 260 or is it 280?
I did figure out that this was train 280.

Re: CN Updates August 2016
CN 2644 at MP 65 southbound Holly sub. I would guess this to be 116. at 12:07 AM CN 2933 just reported at MP 245 on the Flint sub about the same time. (Thinking this to be 391)
