CN Q122 has an Ex-Citirail duo. Not sure where it’s at. It last was seen at MP 104.

09:01: L575 (CN x1) and E251 both passed Pennsylvania Road in Wyandotte simultaneously. Both were short consists although E251 quickly out accelerated L575.

OK, my "Brown 40" is over! :shock: I caught my first train of this new age 41! Southbound train (after waiting more than an hour +) had two regular CN "Gevo" types leading (I didn't catch the loco numbers) and another mid D.P.U. with 160 cars! Cleared Masonic Road, Fraser at 8:21 a.m.

:shock: :shock: NEW AGE 41 IS HERE!!!! :shock: :shock:

I did not see 507 or 508 yesterday or yet today. Saw them both on Friday. Are they still running?

Massive 2 car westbound just went through Durand with two CN engines leading. A long eastbound is currently going through also, with 2 CN engines up front, and a 100 anniversary engine as a DPU.

515 has been moving a lot of scrap lately. Today on the NB returning to Pontiac there was a cut of 18 scarp loads on the headend and around 14 on the tailend. The train was close to 50 cars long. It looks like some of it (maybe the cut of 14) went south tonight on 508.
