I managed to find the time to catch a couple of trains this morning. Both trains were south bound.

First was 116 CN 2280 solo, at 12:56 AM. 402 axles, at the detector MP 34.2.

Train # 2 was a unknown to me (unless it was a very late 502) With CN 3094 leading. (I missed getting numbers off the 2 trailing units).
Had 258 axles at MP 34.2.

ATCS is showing a red line on the "old route" between Coolidge and Victoria. Not sure what's going on out there.

I caught 391 at Williams Lake Rd. at 2:12 AM, CN 2912, CN 3094.

Also had scanner on and heard a south bound at the detector MP 34.2 (at 12:14 AM) with 170 axles. It was likely Q116.

Train 950 had 6223 today, which makes me think that the long assignment of 4626 on this train has ended.

And blue 4926 on Train 950, which is SB past MP 22.5 at 11:49 am. So we have two new locomotives on the SB locals out of Pontiac now.

That Herzog work train was on the Holly south of Pontiac this morning. It was in my backyard at 11:30 am and the crane on the narrow sided gondolas was picking up short sections of welded rail along the right of way and putting it in the gondolas.

I caught this same train at Williams Lake Rd. at 3:18 PM. It has been a while since I last did much train watching. I am taking it that 503 has taken the place of 451?
