Re: CN - April 2017
What appeared to be 502 I was going through Linden at 7:00pm with CN 2560, red white and blue BC Rail 4612, and GTW 5936 and a decent sized freight heading for Pontiac.

Re: CN - April 2017
If anyone sees 502 south of Pontiac, could you let us know if 5936 is still on the train? I'd like for it to lead 391 tomorrow, but I'll still take the BCOL leaderatrainguy60 wrote:What appeared to be 502 I was going through Linden at 7:00pm with CN 2560, red white and blue BC Rail 4612, and GTW 5936 and a decent sized freight heading for Pontiac.

Re: CN - April 2017
I believe this to be 502 as well. They cleared the detector MP 34.2 southbound at 7:44 PM 374 axels.atrainguy60 wrote:What appeared to be 502 I was going through Linden at 7:00pm with CN 2560, red white and blue BC Rail 4612, and GTW 5936 and a decent sized freight heading for Pontiac.
I would not be surprised if GTW 5936 got left at Pontiac.
Edit to add:
502 just talked with south yard, They are setting off that GTW 5936 at Pontiac.

Re: CN - April 2017
What looks like a 119 doublestack with a lot of empty well cars at the end flying past MP 22.5 NB at 8:05 pm. Second unit might have been an old CN SD-40.

CN 8908 leading, I suspect that CN 5691 maybe the trailing unit. 448 axels.

Re: CN - April 2017
Are there any GTW locos at the yards in Dearborn, Hamtramck, Flat Rock, or Pontiac? I would particularly like to catch #5831.

Re: CN - April 2017
5831 is almost always at Flat Rock. I believe 4619 is still in the area, maybe Schaefer Yard.NS3322 wrote:Are there any GTW locos at the yards in Dearborn, Hamtramck, Flat Rock, or Pontiac? I would particular like to catch #5831.
