OH YEAH I KNOW THIS CABOOSE!!!! It was used on the "East Side Local" from 1995 until 2010! When they "Combined" that train with the local to Mt. Clemens in 2007, you'd see this caboose there too!!!! It also was used on locals to Moterm Yard, Ferndale! By the way, that yard has the nice new entrance off 8 Mile Road!!!! It looks like this yard is getting the "Makeover" we thought!!!! Here's the "Thread" about CN/UP "Inspection Train" in May: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=34992

GTW 79197 was taken down to Toledo October 2011! I saw it in Flat Rock before it was taken there! I later saw it "Stored" in Lang Yard, Toledo in 2013 and 2014! I guess it just came from there! Where could it be going? Why was it Stored" so long in Lang Yard? Gosh I hope it will stay around!!!!

Here's a picture (Canon® 35mm S.L.R.) I took of GTW "Center Cupola Caboose" #79197 in Ferndale, 4-15-2010:

L551 is about to depart Gladstone with:

CN 2319
CN 8858
44 loads
62 empties
8,000 tons
5700'

L503 has NS 9170 and UP 2217 for power. Last I saw of it, it was stopped on the Chicago Wye in Durand at 6:20pm. It apparently had a separated air hose. I'm guessing it's probably on it's way west by now.

CN L503 arrived at Cory Yard at 7:55pm.

NS 9170
UP 2217.

149 is supposed to have a Canadian cab Dash 9 on it today. Last I heard it was still in BC as of 12:34.

Departed BC fifteen minutes ago.

NB probable 503 cleared Royal Oak at 1:48 pm. CN 2183 and BCOL 4610.

SB 533 approaching Nolan at 3:53. Blue BCOL 4651 sole engine.

396 or 398 (I heard it both ways on the scanner) had CN 8896, 8846 and 8822 (f/r/r) into the tunnel at a little after 2:30 this afternoon.

SB probable 385 flying past Metro Pkwy at 6:45. Probably past Beck already. Nice to see green signal between 15 Mile and Metro Pkwy. CN 2845 and 2838.

I photographed this train in Fraser! It had BCOL C44-9W #4651 with 13 loaded "Well Car" sets! It crossed Masonic Road at 3:44 p.m. It was nice to see this unit in BC Rail colors! It still has the original "Bell" on top (not 'Electronic') and all four "Ditch Lights!!!!"

CN 2615 & 5438 west going through East Lansing at 20:37. Will be stopping at Cedar to meet Amtrak.

Now coming back north at 12 Mile Rd. Same power.

Probable 384 NB at Frazho Rd. CN 5415, 2515, and some other zebra striped unit?

Per a report from a friend, CN E294 is around Griffith, IN with with BCOL barns, 4609 and 4617.

CN 3000 west with an autorack train through East Lansing at 21:43. They are stopping at Cedar, so I assume a westbound is imminent.

Edit

Or there could be another westbound passing them.
CN 2317 by East Lansing at 22:09

A third westbound through Lansing at 22:37 28th CN 2260 & BCOL 4613

116 with CN 5668 & 5682 through East Lansing at 00:24

Posted by James Deeds on the CN Flint and Holly Subs Facebook group just now.

"397,322 are running mt.clemens and holly subs today between Tappan and Durand account track work at Emmett"

IIRC, 322 is also westbound despite the even number symbol.
