Re: CN Updates: July 2018
I caught 391 at Williams Lake Rd. 12:08 AM. CN 5631, CSX 4088? I got over there just as the power started across the road. As a result, I am positive about the details of the second unit.
Edit to add:
As of 1:44 AM, 391 is in the siding at Holly and have a mechanical issue with one of the units. sounds like they will set it off at Holly to be picked up later.

Thanks, I had forgotten that CN will quite often use 502's power for the next days 391.Wabash1070 wrote:That would be 4033 same power as yesterday's 502kc8bdr wrote:I caught 391 at Williams Lake Rd. 12:08 AM.

Re: CN Updates: July 2018
116 is at Gaines with CREX 1504 leading. Will be "meeting" 391 which is still in the siding at Holly.
Also, 505 is about to head around the High Wye To back into the yard at Durand, CN 8948 leading.
I caught 116 at Williams Lake Rd. at 4:12 AM. In addition to CREX 1504 was a second lease unit, I was too far back to get numbers.

At 5:35 AM 391 is making the turn westbound at Durand with the 4033 now leading. The CN 5631 was left in the siding at Holly.kc8bdr wrote:I caught 391 at Williams Lake Rd. 12:08 AM.

514 completed work here in Waterford around 5:30 AM and will pick up the CN 5631 and take it back to Flint.

Re: CN Updates: July 2018
Train 451 with that CITI and PREX (ex CSX) and two CN locomotives NB past MP 22.2 at 2:35 pm with a short rain (hardly any autoracks). He was followed ten minutes later by Amtrak 351. And then about fifteen minutes later, at 3 pm, was the returning weekend local train on its way back to Pontiac with 5847 I think.

Re: CN Updates: July 2018
Three light engines, the CITI one and the PREX ex-CSX one that were two of four locomotives on 451 and GTW 5847 (which was on the local today) just sent southbound past MP 22.5. Wonder what they are up to?

Wb by 205 at 2045. Not sure what it was. I just caught the last few cars when I came home. It was a string of empty beam cars
