I don't even understand how I did hear it given the fact I had the sound of two CFM56 engines from an arriving Delta 737 and the sound of cars going by!

I then got in the yukon, and made my way down the service drive attempting to find a railroad crossing or somewhere to pull off. I ended up driving roughly a mile where I found a crossing, and to my surprise, the train was still relatively far down the tracks.
I then noticed the headlight on the train coming was not a high headlight, which immediately meant that the leader was not an NS unit. Two trains of thought then formed in my head, either it was whatever CP 140 is now, or maybe a foreign leader on NS 176. I did zoom in on the leader and saw the distinct dark red color of a weathered CP GEVO, which meant it was the former option.
This was interesting because normally (if I remember correctly), this train has to be at the tunnel in detroit by a certain time in order for customs to inspect the train.
Leading the 140 or whatever it's called now was an old ES44AC, a filthy AC4400CW, and the highlight of the train, a CP GP40-2! this unit however was in standard CP colors, so no dual flag livery on this one, oh well

It was quite a long train with lots of covered hoppers, and a CSX ET44AH serving as a mid train DPU.
That was my last catch of the day, in terms of aviation and railfanning I'd say it was a successful day, and also a successful test run of my new camera!
