Re: CN Updates November 2016
At 4:20 am a SB rolled by MP 22.5 slowly. I presume it was 116 per Jim's report earlier.
At 8:30 950 went south past MP 22.5 with 6223 and six tank cars on its way to work the Holly.
At 11 am or so, 515 went south with 27 cars or so and 4925 following Amtrak 353 down the hill. This train is getting longer every day. Mostly lumber cars.
By the way Amtrak 353 still only has one locomotive powering it since they went back to the normal schedule.
At 11:45 950 went by NB heading back to Pontiac with two cars.
At 2:50 Train 451 NB by MP 22.2 with two newer locomotives and a medium-length train following Amtrak 350 just far enough for the yellow boards to turn green in time for its passing.

Re: CN Updates November 2016
Train 391 just past MP 22.5 NB on the Holly.
Correct that, 391 just went by right now at 9:07. Don't know what that earlier train was.

Re: CN Updates November 2016
Heard from a friend on Facebook that CN M383 is on the Holly sub because it picked up some cars in Pontiac Yard. But it has junk power GEVOS leading with M-2s trailing

Re: CN Updates November 2016
Yes, what looked like an 383 reroute on the Holly went south past MP 22.5 at 10 am. There were two additional locomotives shoving about two thirds of the way into the train.
