CN Location Updates December - 2023

[Graham Halverson]

So that as-needed with the BNSF rolled through at 1:35. Amtrak 350 raced it as it came through

Now E251 is coming up next

[Manistique]

The dispatcher must have changed his mind and let Amtrak 350 up the Holly first. It just went by MP 22.5 at 1:53 pm. It gets a yellow over flashing red signal for the crossover to the depot at MAL Junction.

And right behind it on Main 2 is one of the freights. He probably has a restrictive signal now to let Amtrak cross in front of him. Yes, he is going slowly by now at 1:57 pm with a single BNSF unit.

CN 251 passing Royal Oak at 2:06. GEVO leader

[Manistique]

That second freight is rolling past MP 22.5 right now at 2:29 pm. So far all mixed freight, mostly boxcars with some tanks and covered hoppers and empty centerbeams. Autoracks on the rear. Long and slow. Probably 491.

Now all we need is 116 for a very busy afternoon on the South Holly.

Now all we need is 116 for a very busy afternoon on the South Holly.

That as-needed was supposedly X491. And then you got 251 with a longer train today. Possible SB intermodal as-needed or it’s Q116 lined all the way from Durand

Q116 met X491 in Holly and is on it's way south.
