10:34 - E251 with CN 8863/CN 2996/CN 3877/CN 3271 takes the Chicago Wye in Durand.Manistique wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2024 8:55 amWhat looked like an early 251 with three locomotives and a short train just went past MP 22.5 at 8:54 am. He may be stabbed by departing Amtrak 353 leaving Pontiac about now.
9:09 am edit: Wrong. They held Amtrak at Pontiac for 251's passing. Now 353 is running about 15 minutes late out of the chute.

Re: CN Train Location Updates - March 2024
Late report from last night on the South Holly:
There was a 513 with 9607. It went south with one tank around 7:30 pm, came back around 8:15 pm.
507 and 508 passed each other locomotive to locomotive in my backyard at 8 pm last night. Only one of a handful of times over the last 34 years that that has happened so precisely out back.
