Re: CN Train Location Updates - November 2023
Alright cool LansingRailfan!!!! This is a different train!!!! WOW!!!! The engine is ex CN C44-9W #2598 "Rebuilt" into fresh AC44C6M #3309 now with the "Wafer Logo!!!!" As a matter of fact I will send my friend (Roger with loaned 35mm Canon® S.L.R.) to capture this at Port Huron!!!! COOL!!!! OK, what time do you expect P62391 there? I would have guessed 4:00 p.m.(ish)─but CN may send it right through as "Priority!!!!" I myself (RLJ II) have never caught a CN "Business Train!" Just "Santa Trains!!!!"LansingRailFan wrote: ↑Mon Nov 06, 2023 11:10 am11:10 - EB P62391 with CN 3309 and 3 cars is in BC - quick crew change and away they shall go. signals are lined already for an EB train at Potterville.
CN 3309 is on "Heritage Units" but as of 11:45ish a.m. there are no posts: https://heritageunits.com/locomotive/detail/CN3309

116 passed MP 22.5 on the Holly at around 11:45 am, right after 251 cleared.
NB 515 passed at 12:24 pm.
So the afternoon parade on the South Holly is done already, a few hours early today for some reason. Next: Amtrak 350.

Re: CN Train Location Updates - November 2023
Hey LansingRailfan! How come you list GLC 329 and 382 for the same train? Only two locomotives each at 12:27 and 1300/13:35! Did it change locomotives? Typo?
UPDATE: Yes that was the CN "Business Train!!!!" Roger photographed it at 2:27 p.m. The train went straight on through! Only one picture was left on the roll of film! It should be good! Train went straight through! Local with CN SD75I #5644 pulled in shortly after with three empty "Center Beam" Flatcars!!!!! He didn't change film! That is fine!
OK, my friend (Roger with loaned 35mm Canon® S.L.R.) is atop the Michigan Road overpass at Port Huron!!!! COOL!!!! It should be arriving into Port Huron yard! There was a green light to the yard tracks when I talked a few minutes ago! Sounded like a local (533) was waiting at Tappan and a headlight in the distance heading east @2:25 p.m. Has to be the CN "Business Train!!!!!"LansingRailFan wrote: ↑Mon Nov 06, 2023 12:23 pm12:20 - EB P62391 with CN 3309 and 3 cars clear old GTW bridge over Lansing Ave
