Train 507 passed MP 22.2 at 7:05 pm going fast and with many containers tonight. The third unit, IC 3101, is a GP40, which is nice to see.
The signal at Opdyke is lined for a SB out of Pontiac, maybe 513 at this time.

EB (or SB) freight through Waucedah with an EMD widecab leader heading towards Powers. Totally caught us off guard but we got something in fading light.

Re: CN Train Location Updates - October 2023
Through Port Huron and into the tunnel about 1645. The string of empty centerbeam flatcars directly behind the power was a surprise.bluewonderrails wrote: ↑Sat Oct 07, 2023 11:41 amA492 east clear mp225 at 11:41. CN duo #3305 + #3118
There's another EB at the east end of the PH yard waiting for a signal to go east. If I had my scanner, I'd probably have a better idea if they're waiting for A492 to clear the tunnel, a WB to come across, or just for me to go home...
