505 by East Lansing about 04:20. Single engine CN 2621. They came through on track 1 but did meet another train
As of 04:30, there is an eastbound past Potterville, and a westbound past Durand, probably 391.

Re: CN Updates - November 2017
I saw those two UPs yesterday on a SB CN on the Old Main. It had a lot of autoracks, but also some other types of cars. I thought E280 was all autoracks? Or can it have other freight sometimes?Manistique wrote:Train 451/503 NB past MP 22.5 on the Holly with UP 4123 and UP 8608 as power. These two units were on a 280 yesterday.

I noticed all the extra freight on that train too but I put two and two together and a train mostly of autoracks with UP power was probably a 280-type train just filled out tonnage wise. May have been something else but I think 280 was the best description for it. I usually don't listen to a scanner so just do my best to describe the trains I see by their consists.

Just before noon, L515 went around the Sugarhouse Wye and crossed over from the MTC main to the MTC east thoroughfare at Aubin. R950 was on the main waiting SB at Aubin and had to get talked past the new signal by dispatch. Then R950 went around the Sugarhouse Wye heading for Metro and Gage.

That 451 is just passing MP 22.5 south of Pontiac. Only 2018 was running and it didn't sound too good, like it was having trouble loading, though the train is moving at a decent speed up the Hill.
Just as soon as 451 passed my house returning 950 with 4904 went NB, probably on the other main track it was so soon afterwards.

Re: CN Updates - November 2017
East bound by the 205 with 4 units at 1045. 3rd unit looked like a cowl through the fog and 4th maybe an sd42. Beautiful train at any rate.
