At 8:40 pm Train 391 is NB past MP 22.5 with 3059 and BC 4608 as power, moving pretty fast for going up the HIll because of a shorter train.

149 clearing Okemos at 8:34 with CN 2287 solo. I thought when the gates went down that this would be Amtrak at this time.

:shock: WWWWOOOOOWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!! :shock: If I saw that train, it would be my "Longest Ever!!!!" My longest was near Delta, OH on May 6, 2017 ......westbound NS train with 3 engines, 208 cars!!!! Does anyone know the "Power" of this CN train and the time (approx.) it ran through Mt. Clemens? :?:

I caught a "Short" one though: Southbound train 533, Fraser, 7:39 p.m. with CN C44-9W #2585 and one loaded "Well Car" set!!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

116 with CN 2804 in the lead clear East Lansing at 22:32. Moving slow, believe he will hold at Okemos for a westbound.
