Train 391 past MP 22.5 NB on Holly at 7:25 pm.
At 8 pm a second NB went flying past MP 22.5. Not a local. So not sure which train was 391 and what the other one was.

CN Updates Feb 2017
Last night there was a third NB freight that went by MP 22.5 on the Holly. That one was around 9:30 pm. So two NB extras or reroutes on the Holly last night for some reason.
Re: CN Updates January 2017
I'm sitting at the Pontiac Amtrak station lot, and there is a lone engine #34 idling away. Heard 2 trains go by while I was at the M1 Concourse about 9 am. Might swing through Durand though I suppose dead during day? Then up through Owosso and to 127 up to Clare hoping to catch GLC on my way back to Traverse. Waiting a bit longer to see if anything goes through here in Pontiac. Is this the line through Holly and Durand?

Amtrak 353 should be the next train when it leaves at 10.30. 515, the local, will follow.
Re: CN Updates January 2017
No Amtrak yet but CN train passing southbound at Pontiac depot with #3129 leading a box car and 11 loaded center beam cars. Stopped at depot now. Amtrak train arriving now too.

Re: CN Updates January 2017
Amtrak then Train 515 (with 3129) went slowly SB past MP 22.5 starting around 11 am this morning. Must be a slow order for something around here.
Re: CN Updates January 2017
There were crews working on track with front end loaded south of the Pontiac depot. Now in Durand- all quiet. Couple railfanning here braving the cold wind. Anyone know if any trains due soon here?

Re: CN Updates January 2017
What I presume was Train 451 went past MP 22.5 at 12:25 pm. I was out walking and heard it from afar. Main 2 on the Holly appears to have not been used since the snow the other day.

Re: CN Updates January 2017
It usually picks up mid afternoon, and traffic remains steady until 5 to 6. I'm not sure if you already saw it, but there is an ATCS monitor on one of the windows, and a second monitor is up inside the station in the gift shop.TC Man wrote:There were crews working on track with front end loaded south of the Pontiac depot.
