Re: CN Train Location Updates - March 2024
Not that anyone probably cares, but regarding my comment from earlier today, of course that was train 116 - duh (on my part).
I have no idea why I thought it may have been an extra.

Re: CN Train Location Updates - March 2024
Speaking of Extras...Southbound Intermodal train by Linden at 10:48am. Not sure if this is a very early 508 or what? Not even sure if the whole train was intermodal, but what I saw of it, it was. Sorry, I'm not much help on this one.

Re: The port of monroe-containers?
I didn't know the "Port of Monroe" was really a thing. According to googlemaps, there are a bunch of tank cars next to the Michigan Paving and Materials place and tracks into the Ford warehouse. I don't see where a container facility will be built but according to the article, it appears one will be...

Re: CN says goodbye to Baraga
Just like I said...the amazing Mike H!!
Of course we realize the word "potential" is being used here, but let's hope the new business materializes and CN buys in.

Re: CN says goodbye to Baraga
When was the last time Baraga actually had a rail served customer? I have always wondered about that.
By the way, go get ‘em Mike H (regarding transload opportunities - if anyone can, it’s Mike H!!)

Re: Grand Blanc Tornado
Sorry I don't have an answer to the original question, but this weather is nuts, even by Michigan standards.
Was ready to turn on the A/C yesterday as house was 74 degrees and humid inside, and as I type this I'm wearing my slippers.

Re: CN Train Location Updates - February 2024
That S756 must have been the train I heard around 5:30 this morning as this is not a "normal" time for a train thru Linden, although, of course, any train can run at any time.

Re: CN Train Location Updates - February 2024
Southbound 508 by Linden at 5:25pm with 2 CNs and 76 cars. Today's train had a good mix of cars. First 3 cars were intermodal, followed by 3 - 86' boxcars, which was kinda cool to see since you don't really see a whole lot of those cars anymore. (NS 18K and 19K thru Elkhart always have several 86 fo...

Southbound 116 with (only) CN 8019, is by Linden at 12:18pm with 74 cars - I think 74 cars, couldn't quite tell for sure from where I was at. Train is racks, maybe 10-15, with the rest being intermodal.

Re: Diamonds in Kalamazoo
Anyone can ask how many trains per day are at a given location, and based on the number of answers, one can get a general idea. However, the best way to know how many trains per day a given location will deliver is the actual collection of data. A few steps would include: 1. Sit at a location of you...

Re: CN Train Location Updates - January 2024
Well, well, well, we have another Southbound. Southbound 508?, by Linden at 2:33pm with 2 CNs and 40 cars of mixed freight. If this is not an early or late 508, maybe it’s an extra like a 356 or something.

For my friends South of Linden, Southbound Q116 coming at you, clear Linden with 2 CNs followed by racks and stacks. Sorry, no car count.
