What I believe is 502 with an Illinois central unit working the yard in Durand right now.

Edit IC 1015 and CN 3043. Brought 11 in and took 14 out.

Late post, but should still be useful for those south of Pontiac. CN L502 went through Linden, MI at 5:30pm, with CN 2117, BC Rail 4608, and IC 3108. Video is in the Trip Report section.

And at 9:51 pm a NB Train 119 Doublestack with those two locomotives reported earlier past MP 22.5.

OK, I wish I would have seen train 385 yesterday, 7-9! On the "Other" Board, RandallG posted about this train: Posted by RandallG on 7/9/2017, 4:16 pm
"M385 just thought Mt. Clemens running on L533's block, with Kansas City Southern Belle GE trailing. Didn't get the number - blinded by the cleanliness of the unit..."


Now, does anyone know where this KCS unit is or what train it will go on next? Where can I get this
"Southern Belle™" unit? :?:

That KCS unit just went SB at 1:34 pm with two other CN locomotives light past MP 22.5. Maybe going to Moterm to power another 119 today?

Nope, this set of power with the KCS unit trailing just went NB past MP 22.5 on the Holly at 2:39 with two empty centerbeam cars. Odd.
