Re: CN Updates January 2021
GTW 4923? Caught going LHF to work W Flint at 4:41. First time ever seeing this!
Edit: 5:01. Has backed onto a cut of box cars at the back side of the GM parts plant facing Dye Rd. Neat to be able to see this for the first time.

Re: CN Updates January 2021
Fun Fun Fun.
I missed the beginning, so not sure of all the details, but have been listening to this saga on the scanner for an hour and a half now...
501 had some sort of air line/EOT problem at Potterville.
251 was alongside assisting.
Amtrak 364 was on the single track west of the 2 freights.
After several changes of plans:
Amtrak is backing past Lacey to get clear on the double track
501 is proceeding to Battle Creek at 30mph
251 is following 501

Re: CN Updates January 2021
Well, on Friday January the First I photographed my 1st train of 2021 in Fraser! Northbound CN A482 had two CN "Widecab" GE locos, 106 cars! Now, earlier today (1-9) I noticed on "Heritage Units" northbound A482 was on the way with BCOL "Cowl" C40-8M #4602!!!! The train was reported in Wyandotte at 9:44 a.m. It was already around 11:45 a.m. Then I zoomed to the tracks to find that I missed it!!!!! However, I see on this board that quite a few BCOL "Cowls" are passing by recently! Why are they "Congregating" more? That's good!!!! They seem to be used only for "Trailing" though! Glad to see them working! Has anyone found any CN "Zebra Cowls" recently?
This was my last train of 2020:

Re: CN Updates January 2021
Well what are the engines on M396? Especially what is the BCOL unit? Where is this train now (3:54 p.m.)? Is it going to work Flint Bristol/Torrey Yard?LansingRailFan wrote: ↑Sat Jan 09, 2021 3:34 pmThe EB was M396. Its entering Bancroft where it is meeting M397. 397 has 8899/5701/8880.
