Not 116, but maybe another reroute?Manistique wrote:Train 116 SB past MP 22.5 on the Holly at 7:14 am with 2933 and 8917.

Re: CN - April 2017
That 116 I was referring to this morning was all doublstack. No mixed at all. Pretty long too. The power just went back to Pontiac lite at 10 am. I wonder if it was an extra doublestack and the power will take an extra 119 out of Moterm tonight again?
Train 950 with 4901 and one boxcar went SB past MP 22.2 at 9:15 am. Pretty short for what usually is the combined weekend 950/515.

Re: CN - April 2017
I haven't heard of a southbound intermodal on the Holly in a while. No clue what the symbol would be. My guess is that the power will be added to 451 or 391.Manistique wrote:That 116 I was referring to this morning was all doublstack. No mixed at all. Pretty long too.

Re: CN - April 2017
Train 116 is a SB intermodal on the Holly running everyday. It usually leaves Pontiac in the early morning before daylight. But usually it goes all the way to Flat Rock with some mixed freight. No mixed freight on it today so maybe you are correct, the power will be added to one of the NB's today at Pontiac as there was no need to go further south than Moterm today.
Train 451 just rolled NB past MP 22.5 at 11:05 am with UP 7846 leading blue IC 2466.

Re: CN - April 2017
Q116 had solo IC 2466. The one you saw later was X116. Its power was sitting near the south end of Pontiac Yard when 451 arrived. Not sure if it got picked up.Manistique wrote:Train 116 is a SB intermodal on the Holly running everyday. It usually leaves Pontiac in the early morning before daylight.

Re: CN - April 2017
I just heard what I thought was a 119 talking to the dispatcher. I am fairly certain they are at Pontiac. 2913 (Believe CN) have a few people talking around where my scanner is so I missed some of the details.

Re: CN - April 2017
119 is stopped at Bancroft. It just met 116, and is now going to meet another train, I'm guessing Amtrak 364.Manistique wrote:That 119 is NB rolling past MP 22.5 on the Holly with the same two locomotives as X116 this morning with doublestacks at 7:52 pm.

Re: CN - April 2017
I "Missed" getting train 533 today (4-23) with a "ZEBRA COWL" unit!!!! I was on the "Parked" MTM train taking "Active" member rules and saw 533 in between! Later, I saw train 385 crossing 13 Mile Road Roseville, 5:12 p.m. It had two CN ET44AC locos, #3057/3082, and 160 cars!!!! I heard 533 heading north after I came home around 8 p.m.

Re: CN - April 2017
Didn't catch the number, but 116 with a single CN unit was by East Lansing at 20:52.
Amtrak 364 just clearing the 119 detector, so they should be into East Lansing just before 21:00, about 5 min late.

Re: CN - April 2017
Most of what I hear is on 160.530, and 160.590. they should work in Wyandotte as they do here in Waterford.b17bass wrote:What is the scanner frequencies for the CN line through Wyandotte Mi?? Thanks
Edit to add:
I almost forgot 160.845, this is more a yard frequency, while the two I listed above are more for road use.

Re: CN - April 2017
Had a southbound clear the detector at MP 34.2, 254 axels at 10:36 PM. Likely 116. never did hear a number for the Power.
116 is not working the yard at Pontiac, just strait down to Moterm.
Edit to add:
Possible engine number for 116 CN 2158.
