Re: CN train updates 3/17/2013 to 3/23/2013

Interesting lash up idling in CN Battle Creek yard near the fuel docks...BNSF 8864, UP 6523, CSX7856 (YN3) and CSX 7355 (YN2). Also CN Brandt hi-railer with several MOW gons and one of those tie cranes that sits on top, looks like they are or will be replacing ties in the yard. Ed.: UPDATE above la...

Re: CN train updates 3/17/2013 to 3/23/2013

Is 348 taking the scenic route to Sarnia or did CN make another symbol change on the Holly. Just a one time thing because there whole train was pretty much Toledo and Flat Rocks. I saw them arrive battle creek. Mostly WC 2 bays like that found on 502 plus a huge string of empty autos. They are head...

Re: CN Q119

The Railfan Wiki lists a CN train, Q119, that goes from Flat Rock, MI to Vancouver, BC. I'm assuming this is a new train since I've never heard of it before, and haven't seen it on the wiki until today. I was wondering if anybody knows when it runs, and if it runs on the Holly Sub? There is no Q119...

Re: Amtrak Crash

If a maintainer needed it open for a maintenance purpose and didnt close it for whatever reason, ( intentional or not ) then I would underst...

Re: Private Varnish Trip Across Ohio (April 6-10)

Be sure when checking prices on Amtrak for comparison you are not using today or tomorrow, because of their tiered system. Look about a week or two in advance. My dad and I went from GRR to CUS and back for only around $100 on Amtrak. And all we had to do was show up. No driving, just a carefree ri...
