CN May Updates-2022

[Manistique]

Train 450 with that EJE 3023 trailing past MP 22.5 at 6:46 am. Shorter train with a lot of steel on it. Funny but the steel cars in grouped in different blocks instead of all together. I have never seen a modern EJE locomotive before, just the second generation ones.

G887 most likely going to Durand to pull that P&H train from MAC Breckenridge via MMRR.

Durand: three unit lite engine consist just used the wye transfer and is now backing into the yard. Eastbound is waiting on the west end of town and a westbound coming out of Flint yard now has a signal for Durand.

09:18 - WB 2-unit A491 with CN 3042/CN 3273

I think that's EB L500 waiting east of the diamond for G887 to depart so they can work the yard. Haven't seen L501 either.

Earlier at 08:11...

Departing now @ 10:55

10:59 - WB 3-unit L50162-12 is SB over the diamond in Durand with CN 8917/CN 2515/CN 2632 and 104 loaded P&H hoppers from MAC in Breckenridge on the MMRR.

8917 and 2632 were on Tuesday's A450

They will back onto the Flint sub using the High Wye before heading west.

[LansingRailFan]

11:17 - EB 3-unit L500 has been waiting patiently west of Durand for quite a while. CN 5634/5667/CN 5424. They picked up CN 5424 in Lansing and are most likely taking it to Flint for its 92-day ordeal. Looks like a long train to set off for HESR/GLC today in an already packed yard.
