EB mixed freight by Durand camera at 14:28 with
CN 3068
CN 3024
LSRC 6436 (UP paint)
Lined as far as Flint on the main. Guessing they'll leave that LSRC engine at Flint?

Re: CN Train Location Updates - August 2023
Durand camera 14:40: EB to SB, CN 8809 with racks/stacks, presumably a Q116.
At 15:16, an EB mixed freight slowly rolls by with CN 3011 and CN 2974, reported as M396 on Facebook, but it's lined into Flint Yard, so maybe it's an A492?

M394 stopped at 209.7 with trees piled on the cab. Waiting for track dept with saws. P364 holding
Re: CN Train Location Updates - August 2023
03:23 - What looks like a rear DPU is stopped just east of MP 225 on M1. Driving out to Okemos Rd. yields a blocked crossing. It looks like the same train with M2 under the Grand River overpass being completely clear. If the head end is east of Okemos Rd. it is not visible.
03:53 - The locomotives just beyond MP 225 are indeed the head end. Looks like three based on the ground lighting, nothing but 710's. They have an advance approach westbound however are not proceeding.
04:10 - Crew member seen walking towards the crossing, turned around after swiping his flashlight back and forth... maybe checking for debris?
08:37 - Passing the MP 205 camera with two M-2's and a 75i on the head end.

Re: CN Train Location Updates - August 2023
Amtrak P364 last night began to proceed from Battle Creek, but reversed and terminated there with debris reported along the path. My guess as P365 today, they leave BC for Chicago at its regularly scheduled departure time
10:24 - per radio, train 148 preparing to depart BC with CN #8024 leading. They had a re-crew at 09:00
