Northbound to Westbound CN train on the Chicago Wye in Durand at 6:03 P.M. Wonder if those empty center beams came from Lang Yard.

Re: CN Train Location Updates - April 2024
Lots of centerbeams have been in Pontiac lately too. I never saw anything with centerbeams in Royal Oak this afternoon either.
507 is working at Moterm with CN 8916 & 5775.

I actually saw 515 with 7 or 8 centerbeams today. Where did that centerbeam originate from??

Re: CN Train Location Updates - April 2024
WOW!!!! I was bike riding at Kelly Road and Masonic, Roseville! I head the horn of a southbound train! I headed toward the tracks! Amazingly I got there before the train, Masonic Road, Fraser! It was blowing at 14 Mile still! I didn't think it was this slow! Was this 383? It appeared to be that train! It had CN SD70M-2 #8915 and CN C44-9W #2608, 74 cars, 7:05 p.m.

Re: CN Train Location Updates - April 2024
The centerbeams on 515 are to/from Nolan Distribution on the Mt. Clemens Subdivision in Detroit.
