What looked like a 116 just went SB past MP 22.5 on the Holly at 7 am. It had mixed freight on the rear end this time.

At about 1130, GTW 4904 and one boxcar shoved south from the Moterm signal into Moterm Yard disappearing in between towering stacks of containers.

Re: CN Updates - November 2017
Really late post: 148 and 149 were both in Port Huron yesterday (Friday) just before 0800. In addition, there was a single 5-unit articulated well car sitting on the north end of the Mt. Clemens Sub, probably set out by one of the two intermodal trains. It was pretty neat to see double stacks as far as the eye could see (at 70+ mph from the freeway overpass) in both directions.

Re: CN Updates - November 2017
I caught a southbound train at Airport Rd at 9:25 AM. I am guessing a very late 116. Had NS leading, BCOL trailing. Did not get a chance to write down numbers but about 60% sure the numbers on the NS unit was 7534.

Got the scanner going here at the house and confirmed that is indeed 116, with NS 7534 leading.
116 is good to depart Pontiac southbound as of 10:05 AM.

Re: CN Updates - November 2017
Empty DTE coal train heading west from Port Huron, on signal indication. Power is CSX 937. Train will run to Flint Kearsley (sp?).
Edit: caught by autocorrect- so was supposed to indicate that I was unsure if I'd spelled Kearsley correctly.
