Re: CN Train Location Updates - March 2024
Two trains on a long bike ride today! First I got northbound train 382 in Roseville about 12:30 p.m. at the 13 Mile crossing, Roseville! It had just two regular CN "Evolution" GEs, 162 cars! After a party at my old work in Warren, 11 Mile, I saw a green for a southbound! After more than two hours I finally caught 385!!!! Great CN ET44AC #3115 "BC Rail Heritage" & CN ES44AC #2981 with 104 cars, cleared Martin Road, Roseville, at 5:05 p.m. WOW!!!! My first time photographing CN 3115 (BCOL HU)!!!! Now I have photographed all five CN RR "Heritage Units!" It was in good sunlight down here!!!! But David Collins, there was no GP38-2W! That was probably dropped off in Sarnia, ON! OK, this power will probably "Wye" in Flat Rock before heading north on the next 384! Then 3115 will lead again!!!!!Man o' War wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2024 4:53 pmM385 by Mount Clemens depot at 16:52.

LansingRailfan! Would you happen to know approx. what day this "Via Siemens" set will make it east to Port Huron area? Maybe I can make it or friend Roger photograph for me with my 35mm Canon®! They seem to come quick with not much time to plan!!!! Yes, I also missed the Maine Eastern® guy!LansingRailFan wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2024 3:41 pmAnother VIA Rail trainset (#14) departed Siemens in California Wednesday night with UP 5041 leading.
15:40 - WB X491 with CN 3229/CN 40 is in Potterville tied down. Crew must have expired due to the work block between Walton and Potterville.

WB CN Intermodal through Flint (CP Flint) with CN 2227 and 2713. Potentially X139? Think I saw Z149 go through Charlotte already.

Re: CN Train Location Updates - March 2024
I am not able to catch Q-122 with Illinois Central® "Operation Lifesaver®" SD40-3 #6250 leading! Does anyone know if this train will be held up at Port Huron or elsewhere for westbound trains? If so, my friend (Roger) can capture this train with my lent 35mm film camera! I am guessing it is too late though! Did it go in the tunnel yet (around 9:18 a.m.)? Spotted on "Heritage Units" (by gay-trainenthusiast) in Imlay City at 7:58 a.m. Please help!RoyalKingoftheRails wrote: ↑Sat Mar 16, 2024 7:20 amCN Q122 through Kearsley with IC 6250 OLS leading at 7:09 AM

If anyone is local and wants to see the BC Rail HU, it’s tooling around Flat Rock yard. I just saw it on the south side shuttling around a cut of cars.
