Re: CN Updates- November 2019
This empty Coke Train just passed MP 22.5 on the Holly SB. Only SB freight train so far today. That train parked on the mainline at MP 22.5 is still there. That SB general freight reported at Holly earlier this morning must be stuck at Pontiac Yard.KC8RBK wrote:C716 or 714? By 205 at 0849. 2 cn.

Amtrak 350 had a P42 on each end today instead of the usual Chargers. Just passed MP 22.5 at 2:40 pm.
Re: CN Updates- November 2019
There are at least three of them stacked up between Opdyke and 14 mile. All have been there since early Friday morning.Manistique wrote:Since at least around 5 pm yesterday (Friday) there has been a long freight train stopped on Main 2 in Bloomfield Hills at MP 22 of the Holly. Two locomotives, a CN and a BC cowl. Basically tying up Main 2 between Detroit and Ferndale. I saw it last night and presumed it just died or there was congestion in Pontiac Yard or it was waiting for Amtrak 355 to depart Pontiac before it proceeded. But it is still there this morning, covered with frost. All the regular freight trains have been running here on the Holly during the CN strike in Canada.

Just talked to someone at Trowbridge that heard the dispatcher this morning complaining that there are so many tie-downs it’s clogging the rails.

Re: CN Updates- November 2019
The first day of the canada strike I was hearing them say that until it was over all traffic would be moving on a priority basis. Any non essential traffic would be tied down ufn.LansingRailFan wrote:Just talked to someone at Trowbridge that heard the dispatcher this morning complaining that there are so many tie-downs it’s clogging the rails.

Re: CN Updates- November 2019
Looks like 591 is NB passing MP 22.5 with seven (or more) locomotives.
I would say all the three tied down locomotives on the Holly south of Pontiac are all NB's as they are all lined up on Main 2 and the northernmost one is a NB.

Re: CN Updates- November 2019
Northbound train by Linden at 5:25am.
Too dark to see what it was.
UPDATE: By the detector at 59.9 at 5:32am with only 52 axles, so short one for sure.
