Heads up guys NS 1074 is on CN tracks on its way to Flat Rock. Flint Sub Railfans keep a close eye and ear on it. I believe the last Heritage Unit to run on the Flint Sub was NS 1073 back in I believe February

Its on M384 to Flat Rock, which will return to Bellevue, Ohio on CN 385/NS 184. The CN locos haven't been going to Bellevue on NS 184 anymore, with the engines off 385 heading toward Battle Creek on 451 most days now.

It will be nowhere near the Flint Subdivision, but the 1074 did run on the Flint Subdivision back in April 2014 on L502.

385 met a northbound autorack train at East Yard with CN 2336, which was then delayed by the fire on Bunert Road. They were stopped at Frazho Road for about an hour.

Where would this locomotive head? I'd love to photograph it! The Bessemer® "Tunnel Motors" are in the 900 series (not BLE 810)! I have been wanting to see a Bessemer® engine for a while!!!!
