Yup, as I mention above "This train has five locos..." Now, what were they all? A good train was missed!!!!TwisterJay29 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 07, 2021 8:58 amThose signals are funny. I have waited numerous times for over an hour when the signal is green and nothing. 482 on Friday had 5 locos also

Re: CN Updates March 2021
Could it be an ABS signal? We have a few around here that always show green, even when no train is lined.TwisterJay29 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 07, 2021 8:58 amThose signals are funny. I have waited numerous times for over an hour when the signal is green and nothing.
ABS signals just show green to say "the block ahead of me is empty" - it doesn't necessarily mean a train is coming.

A very strange A482 through 25 Mile Rd. @ 16:01. CN 8858 & 2227 with 165 cars. 80-90 empty center beams in a row towards the front/middle which was odd to see.

Re: CN Updates March 2021
The signal in question, "CN BECK", is a control point in CTC territory. When nothing else is running on the sub, the DS will often line up trains on the MTC hours ahead of their appearance. Not unusual at all (or funny) .amessmann wrote: ↑Sun Mar 07, 2021 3:34 pmCould it be an ABS signal?

Re: CN Updates March 2021
OK, that train had six locos!!!! Mentioned it had "CN 5626 leads 2590, 5649, 5448, 3836, BCOL 4620!" Must have came by "CP Beck" just after 9:00 p.m. as it was seen at New Haven at 9:58 p.m. I wanted to capture the BCOL "Cowl!!!!"

Probably a cut of cars being taken out of storage and sent back to be loaded.
Also- try and stand farther back from the tracks. You’ll get better vantage points in your videos.
