Good luck. Railroads keep stuff like blueprints locked up tight. I'd try and find a CN timetable or rule book for the Flint Sub.

Are you talking about the yard(in Flint) by the airport, or the old Belsay Rd yard(gone)? Also on the Flint Sub is the yard in Lansing, as well as the yard on the east end of the Flint Sub(Tunnel yard at Port Huron) and the Battle Creek Yard (in Battle Creek).

The CN yard near the airport is known as Torrey Yard. Named for a nearby road

Go zoom in to a place like Chicago and it gets pretty close to the ground with a clear picture.

Torrey yard is the one on the east side of I-75. Its a staging yard for the GM plants. The yard across from the airport is called Bristol Rd.

Go to www.terraserver.microsoft.com. then type in flint. You need to go to the topographic map part and it gives you all the tracks that are in the yard. they are not labeled though. hope it works.
