Re: CN - May 2017
Johnson Avenue is in Pontiac. It's the last grade crossing in Pontiac before the yard.
Re: CN - May 2017
In addition to it being a crossing, it's also the control point on the southern end of Pontiac yard.atrainguy60 wrote:Is Johnson Ave in Detroit? Also, is this a new train? Haven't heard of 199 before.GTWChris wrote:199 north at Johnson Ave

I saw a Union Pacific passenger train flying SB through Pontiac at 12:40 pm today. Two UP locomotives and ten UP passenger cars including one dome and the rear being a glassed observation car with people in it. Got me as to what it is.

Re: CN - May 2017
Just saw an awesome UP Admin/Evaluation train with 2 UP for power. It's currently northbound on the Holly approaching Raven. If anyone manages to get info or photos, post them as I didn't have the chance to get any. Caught me off guard.
Edit: Caught up on the Thread that it's been spotted already lol

Re: CN - May 2017
CN 8949 (Or 6 Failing memory )is ready to depart Durand southbound.
I am assuming this to be 502.
94 cars total.
4799 feet long.
Will be meeting the UP passenger train there around Durand, before heading south.
