We had an U713 on Monday from Levi’s, QC. IC 2721/CN 8020 were the engines for this empty ethanol train.
It was handed off to the UP this time instead of going back to Iowa.
UP UEGQC7, unit Empty Ethanol to Columbus Nebraska

Re: CN Train Location Updates - October 2023
Last night/this morning:
23:45 - WB with 2929 and 3941 thru East Lansing with manifest traffic and a few articulated racks, 454 axles, they took M1 at Mill for an EB.
In the mix were purple and green frames of some sort on flat cars, see the pictures below, I would love to know what these are.
Also mixed in where a few cars of jointed rail.
00:39 - Z148 with 8922 and 5709 thru East Lansing, intermodal and racks, 472 axles.
01:40 - WB with 3042 and 3294 thru East Lansing leading all 4-axle manifest traffic, 296 axles, 71 cars.
Another WB followed them, nearing Shaftsburg as this last WB passed me, no visual. They had 296 axles, thru East Lansing around 02:10
All four trains ran on M2 last night.
Regarding the dispatcher's recent love for M1, and for my own notes, Sunday 10/01/2023:
23:40 - WB with 8894, 2319, and 2505 thru East Lansing on M1 with 706 axles of manifest, 172 cars.
01:41 - Z148 thru East Lansing with 8013 and 8809 leading 460 axles, intermodal and racks, they were on M2.
