CSXBOY! This is B&LE SD38 #866! This is one that headed east to Canada February 9th! Now, I would have liked to see this "Bessemer" engine! Does anyone know where it is going to? MichiganRFproductionsYT reported on "Heritage Units" that the "destination is Battle Creek!" Do we know more?

Re: CN Train Location Updates - April 2024
Correct it is 866. Currently clearing Charlotte right now at 1440. It was held up for M302 and E280. I'm unsure what E271 does in BC, I think it's terminating from what I've been told.Robertrains wrote: ↑Sat Apr 06, 2024 2:31 pmhttps://heritageunits.com/locomotive/detail/BLE866CSXBOY!

Long southbound, I’m guessing 508, going through Gaines at 7:25pm. 2 CNs for power. Going pretty slow.

Re: CN Train Location Updates - April 2024
YES!!!! I was already at the tracks in Fraser after seeing a "Flashing Yellow" on the signals at C.P. Beck (never changed green)! WOW! Not a bad train with good light!!!! I photographed southbound train 383 with fresh rebuilt C44-9W, now CN AC44C6M #3339 leading CN ET44AC #3124 (ex GECX 2035), 157 cars! Also D.P.U. CN ES44AC #2912 113 cars deep! It cleared Masonic Road, Fraser, at 10:20 a.m. This is only my second time catching a CN AC44C6M leading and only the third time seeing one since December 4, 2022!!!!! All were at the same location!
