Re: CN Train Updates - June 2023
M397 was seen in London, Ontario at 19:10. I’d assume it could easily have made it to Sarnia by now. Probably will cross during the night, unless they’re held up.Robertrains wrote: ↑Thu Jun 08, 2023 7:56 pmOH NO!!!!! Here go more toward "Scrap!!!!!" Not a CN "Zebra Cowl" going away!!!!

Re: CN Train Updates - June 2023
I noticed IC "Blue Devil" #2459 on "Heritage Units" (posted by Dundsubrailfn)!!!!! It is early morning and I don't see anymore posts! It is probably gone through PH by now (5:10 a.m. June 9)!!!! He lists "Funeral train. 5784,2652,NS4318,IC2459 and CN2427" which includes that CN "Zebra Cowl!!!!" Good catch, but very sad!!!!GrandTrunkPontiac wrote: ↑Fri Jun 09, 2023 1:25 amM397 was seen in London, Ontario at 19:10. I’d assume it could easily have made it to Sarnia by now.
