I caught them at Lahring Road near Linden. They went by at 8:11pm.kc8bdr wrote:CN 2418 leading and unknown second engine headed northbound passed the detector MP 34.2 at 7:35 PM 12 axels. From the limited chatter I heard, it is my guess that theses two engines are picking up coal empties (Train 765) at Durand.

116 at Durand now, looks like a meet with 391 at Holly.Dan Cluley wrote:116 was early tonight. Didn't catch the power, but they went through East Lansing at 21:15

Re: CN Updates Febuary 2017
A westbound is about to come into Durand on the Flint Sub. Not sure on power, but will update what kind it is in a few minutes.
EDIT: Three CN engines leading. Didn't take notice of the numbers, other than the last I think was 5442.

Re: CN Updates Febuary 2017
Train 451 NB past MP 22.5 with 2576 and 2444 elephant style at 2:37 pm.
They ran 451 in front of Amtrak 350 on the same main track which is now crawling by my house so it is slowing it down. Typical CN. And they have a two-track mainline here. Maybe Main 2 is tied up somewhere (no more crossovers everywhere like in the old days).
What looked like Train 515 from the cars in its train went NB past MP 22.5 at 3:41 pm with 4929 today.

The real Train 515 with 3129 and a long train of empties by MP 22.5 NB at 6:15 pm returning to Pontiac.
My earlier report was wrong. That train was 950 with 4929, not 515.

385 headed south through New Haven with BCOL 4622 and CN 8012. I also noticed the new signals just north of the old station. Those should be helpful while I'm waiting on 533 to return Also, if anyone has any idea when 533 will return to PH, that would be appreciated!
Folkz, there are now new signals lying in the ground next to the tracks south of Masonic Road, Fraser! I bet these will be "Installed" soon!!!! This will be nice!!!!

A SB went past MP 22.5 on the Holly at 3 am. I am presuming it was 116 but didn't look to see.
