HUGE L515 by Opdyke with 5423 as leader and was struggling, majority of if not the entire train was loaded, very long cut of loaded centerbeams and a ton of loaded scrap cars from DCON. I’ll guesstimate probably 50-60 cars in total.

There seemed to be an Extra 251 or a 495 last night, a long NB passing MP 22.5 around midnight.

Fog makes it hard too see but it almost looks like CP leading a train waiting outside Flat Rock. Parked almost on the sidewalk

Re: CN Location Updates December - 2023
Delray, do you (or anyone) which train is this? COOL!!!! If I were to guess it would be 251 for the Holly Sub. It would be nice if this were heading to the Mount Clemens Sub. Looks like a CP "Military Heritage Unit" leading!!!!

L508 with CN 8952 leading is approaching Durand and about to take the High Wye at 14:20. Only intermodal today so should make for a quick run down the HollyManistique wrote: ↑Sun Dec 24, 2023 12:33 pm116 rolling past MP 22.5 at 12:32 pm with an 8800 leading a 5600 elephant style.

L508 clear Gaines with around 20 double stacks. Has 8952 up front. Never seen them run this early before but I’m ok with that.

They do tend to run early some times. I’ve seen them leave Flint around 3 pm before.

OK, that CP "Military Heritage Unit" leading a CN unit is not on train E251 (read Graham Halverson's post below)! What train was it on? Maybe an "Extra" E251? Now, I bike rode to Fraser, but unfortunately missed a northbound train about 1:30 p.m. Was this an extra train, or yesterday's 384? Well did that CP engine make it to the Mount Clemens Sub? Does anyone here know? Shucks I missed that if this is the case!!!! Then near Masonic road, shortly after there was northbound train 382! This train had "CN 100" ES44AC #3891, CN ET44AC #3213 and CN ES44AC #3875, 92 cars, 1:45 p.m. My first Christmas Eve train! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!Michiganrailfan123 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 24, 2023 11:00 amI cant come railfanning today, wish I could see that CP Military Heritage Unit on E251.
"Happy Christmas!!!!"

Re: CN Location Updates December - 2023
Someone is idling away out back just out of sight at MP 22.5 at 6:44 pm. They may have stalled on the HIll. I would hazard a guess that it is 507 but it was reported earlier that 507 is not running today.
Re: CN Location Updates December - 2023
8859 hit a passenger car, according to radio (Broadcastify)... Doesn't appear there were injuries, thus far. Train stopped around mile 24.27.Manistique wrote: ↑Sun Dec 24, 2023 5:44 pmSomeone is idling away out back just out of sight at MP 22.5 at 6:44 pm. They may have stalled on the HIll.
