That train was destined for Flint. It was killed in BC and L500 woll take those racks.David Collins wrote: ↑Mon Nov 27, 2023 6:40 pmWhere’s this heading?LansingRailFan wrote: ↑Mon Nov 27, 2023 6:34 pm17:10 - EB E216 81 with CN 8024/CN 5702 ff departed Battle Creek
EB M356 with CN 8024/CN 5702 was the train working Cory. They picked up some loads to take to Flat Rock. Presumably those will go onto L506 to Toledo.
20:28 - NB L507 takes the High Wye in Durand and heads EB to Flint
20:40 - EB M356 with CN 8024/CN 5702 takes the Chicago Wye in Durand and heads SB on the Holly to Flat Rock

Re: CN Train Location Updates - November 2023
Around 15:20-15:25ish, dispatch informed of a system-wide issue with PTC, forcing all trains to go a restricted speed.
E251 for example had cleared the Chicago Wye completely onto the Flint sub around 15:13, and as of 15:32, they've still yet to make it to single track Bancroft, roughly 4.6mi from that wye.
At 15:37, PTC system came back. U714 (at cpCedar mp221.5) + E251 (at cpBancroft mp248.7) will meet by Okemos with E251 taking M1 there, and an EB with #3262 + #3321 trailing U714 got lineage at mp208 cpPville.

508 went past MP 22.5 around 8 pm. There was a 513 out of Pontiac that went NB past MP 22.5 around 11:30 pm, full speed ahead the GP38 just chanting up the Hill. Amtrak 354 went by at 3:40 am, 3 hours 40 minutes late for some reason.
