Re: CN - April 2017
BNSF 3930 cleared the detector MP 34.2 southbound at 12:47 AM, 416 axels.
On the radio the crew identified as "train 765". Yes on the Holly sub approaching Pontiac.
116 is good to head south at 12:55 AM, and will follow 765 south. Also 765 is picking up a pilot at Milwaukee Jct. and head down the shared assets.
I hope someone sees this train, and can report back. I am curious if thus is indeed the empty coal from HESR.

I caught the very end of it coming thru downtown Royal Oak. That is what it was. 116 came thru downtown Royal Oak about 10 minutes later with CN 2904 and CN 2257.kc8bdr wrote:BNSF 3930 cleared the detector MP 34.2 southbound at 12:47 AM, 416 axels.

Re: CN - April 2017
