That's gotta be A491 right? Here's a link to a stream I did last night, go to 1:18:30 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOqZfle ... estube8439

116 passing MP 22.5 on the Holly at 2:03 pm with the Mexican locomotive trailing. 116 has been very interesting lately with a Canadian Pacific unit two days ago and this one today.

Re: CN Train Location Updates - September 2023
507 passed MP 22.5 around 5:30 pm.
508 just passed at 7:19 pm. In addition to the GTW heritage unit leading there was a long cut of new or just painted autoracks with a logo for CPKC, which I presume is CP and Kansas City Southern's new name? Not sure I saw the GP38 with the power, was looking at the blue unit leading!

20:00 - EB P276 with UP 6263, ex-SP, is in BC.
Also we have an E280 81 from Stevens Point, WI that went thru Griffith, IN already with a pair of CNs.

That cut of CPKC racks were on an E270 to Lansing, loaded at Cory Yard and picked up by L500 (IC 2711 leading) overnight.Manistique wrote: ↑Mon Sep 04, 2023 7:21 pm507 passed MP 22.5 around 5:30 pm.

Westbound with CN 8850 & 5650 through East Lansing at 20:52 on m1. Probably meeting Amtrak at Cedar.
Amtrak 364 out of East Lansing at 21:18 4604, 6 cars & 4618
Been a while since I've seen 4 trains through Trowbridge in 20 minutes.
