Re: CN Train Location Updates - January 2024
M385 through Common Rd. @ 15:14. CN 3894 & 3199 with 138 cars. A lot of auto racks today making it 11,000 feet.
M382 through Common Rd. @ 15:53. CN 3045 & 2755 with 173 cars, equally as long.
M382 waited in Detroit for a few hours since both trains were massive. They finally met at Forest Lawn.

Re: CN Train Location Updates - January 2024
I also got both of these trains! I was at an appointment off Harrington Road near Mt. Clemens and saw 385! CN ET44AC #3894 is a "100" unit! At Masonic Road, Fraser, I caught northbound 382! CN (ex CitiRail) ES44AC #2755! The "CitiRail" name is still visible (black line through name) and spray painted black "CN" and numbers! It cleared Masonic Road at 3:59 p.m. Yes long train!!!! I also caught CN 2755 second on train 385 last Father's Day (6-18-23) in Mount Clemens!MtClemensRailFan wrote: ↑Wed Jan 24, 2024 4:02 pmM385 through Common Rd. @ 15:14. CN 3894 & 3199 with 138 cars.

Re: CN Train Location Updates - January 2024
Amtrak 351 ran this morning, just passing MP 22.5 on time at 5:51 am, first 351 in a long time. Winter must be over. I thought I heard an Amtrak last night around 12:30 am go by, a half hour earlier than 354, when it was running, used to go buy. I am guessing it was an equipment move to stage trains out of Pontiac today.

SB 515 went past MP 22.5 around 7:45 am this morning with 5447 and a short train.
And Amtrak 353 also is running today, leaving on time out of Pontiac. Phew.

BCRail 4644 is on E251 today, not by Fort Street yet and unsure if it’s leading or trailing.

Amtrak's Wolverines seem back on track today, at least those that have been out of Pontiac. 355 left Pontiac on time. Temperature outside: 37 degrees.
