It appears that Bond Plywood in Ferndale got worked again recently. The crossing looks pretty clean compared to how it normally is, and the industry’s tracks look to have had vegetation trimmed as of late.

Man, I missed southbound train 383 near me in Fraser, MI, Sunday September 1st! It has two ex Citi Rail® ES44AC engines for power! Leading is CN 2791 and 2755!!!! 2791 has PTC! OK, this power should come back tomorrow on northbound train 382, September 2nd! 😲 😲 😲 😲

:shock: Also, sounds like southbound train A485 has rebuilt CN SD75I #5725, now CN SD75ACC #8300 trailing second!!!! :shock: Can anyone verify? :?: :!: :?:

Yup, got northbound train 382 today, Labor Day!!!! Photographed it at the 13 Mile crossing with ex Citi Rail® ES44ACs #2791/2755, 12:48 p.m. with 98 cars! OK, I previously saw 2755 on Father's Day 2023 on train 385 in Mt. Clemens. The "CitiRail" name is still visible (black line through name) and spray painted black "CN" and numbers!!!!! This was my first time seeing two ex Citi Rail® engines on one train!!!! 😲 😲 😲 😲
