Is this a new train? Maybe this is the local I saw going through Fraser before IC "Heritage" 3008 last Thursday, 8-18!!!! Does this train work south of Mount Clemens usually?
What days/times does it run? That is the SD40-2W I saw through Fraser around 11 a.m.

No , not a new train, they've just extended the limits to include FCA in Mount Clemens. L515 has worked the south end of the MTC sub for years, but only as far as Nolan/Gillen yards (Nolan Lumber Distribution/CN CargoFlo - Polyterm/ C.J. Link). L515 will now work south of Mount Clemens and L533 will work north (Carter Lumber/B&D Drywall). The FCA business comes from/goes to Mexico, so rather than run the cars from the west all the way to Port Huron, they go down the Holly to Pontiac for L515 to deal with. If you are in Mount Clemens proper, you will see more activity with regard to locals now - until they change it up again...

EB M396 w CP 8647/CN 2634/CN 5613 by MP 203 Charlotte. 6 “cats on flats” on the train.

[Manistique]

SB Train 515 with 5323 again just passed MP 22.5 on the Holly at 7:10 am with a short train on its new earlier schedule.

I read about 515's expanded duties (up to Mount Clemens). I wonder if CN is having second thoughts about pulling up East Yard (well, most of it) and not basing any crews out of there anymore? Probably not. Sure is a long way from Pontiac to Mount Clemens, though.

[GTW6401]

Also have a coal train working at Lansing. They are going to run lite power into Battle Creek when they finish up.
