Re: CN Train Location Updates - May 2024
This is one of the downfalls in HESR (and Rail America®) now owned by G&W!!!!! This is an ex Gulf & Ohio® and originally CN engine! Supposedly HESR GP40-2LW #3036 (ex CMGN 9712) will be leaving too when the "Orange" replacement comes! Soon, just the three RA GP38-2s (3965/3866/3867) and HESR 2028 (ex CMGN 2014) will be the only ones that aren't "Orange" on HESR!!!!LansingRailFan wrote: ↑Tue May 21, 2024 6:09 amWB A491-19 had CN 3838/CN 3811/HESR 3037. HESR 3037 is on its way to MEI in St. Louis and shall never return.
This shows how G&W now operates HESR! Actually my last time seeing HESR GP40-2LW #3037!!!! Picture showing three paint schemes on a HESR train, Saginaw, MI, 8-23-2019! The second unit is former G&O, #3037 (I (RLJ II) took (Canon 35mm S.L.R.):

Re: CN Train Location Updates - May 2024
LansingRailfan, I am glad to have caught HESR and CMGN many times since 1995! Also got the RA engines excellent! I also got CMGN GP40-2LW #9712 for the first time at Durand in April 1998!!!! I saw that engine as CMGN 9712, HESR 9712 and HESR 3036! Now hopefully I will see it again!LansingRailFan wrote: ↑Tue May 21, 2024 6:23 pmThat’s showbiz Robert.

Southbound manifest just stopped holding the main at New Haven waiting on a northbound to take siding.
I haven't lost my mind, it's on tape backup here somewhere...
