That's what it looks like on the map and its tail end is still on the Trowbridge circuit so it must be a long one. So far no light fir opposing traffic...

Turns out 501 is too heavy for one engine, so the cars they picked up are going back into Cory.

I passed 149 this morning at Flint about 06:40 a wide cab dash 8 leading.
Wait, was this a "COWL" C40-8M or (former LMS 'Blue') IC C40-8W? :?: There are more "Dash 9s" though!!!!

They went through Royal Oak NB at 2015.
