Re: CN Updates - March 2018
Intermodal extra from Moterm turned west at Durand at 22:37. Clearly heard 343 on the Durand audio a couple of times, but I don't know any train 343. Anyone else hear this symbol?

I am hearing the new UP Double Stack will start soon to Motern from L.A. Don't know much more than that.

Re: CN Updates - March 2018
Train 515 had IC 9560, a GP38, as power today, passing MP 22.2 at 8 pm NB. Don't think I have ever seen an IC GP38 assigned to Pontiac before. GP40, yes, but not a 38.
Train 451 NB past MP 22.5 at 8:15 pm, right behind 515.
Coming home from Menominee in the UP today, there was a SB/WB train ready to depart CN's old Soo Line yard at Gladstone with two BNSF units as power around 10 am. Interesting to see these units up there. Saw a report earlier of one of them on a train up there last week.

I caught a southbound at Williams Lake Rd at 9:25 PM. 2 CN units leading. (So I suppose this to be an X502?) This has CN 2177 leading.
I had the Durand scanner feed going on my phone and heard desk 8 talking to a 502 (This was heard just as 391 was passing me) with what sounded like UP47??. The plan was for 502 to meet 391 at Holly.

That 116 is just rolling SB past MP 22.5 at 7:12 am. 5258 looked like an SD-40. A 5400 followed and then another unit.

Re: CN Updates - March 2018
At 10:07 am a SB went by MP 22.5 with two of the ex-CSX lease units and a BNSF unit (4820?) and an entire train of short covered hoppers. Sand train extra?
At 11:10 am Train 515 SB past MP 22.5 with IC 9560 again and 18 cars, all but a few loaded bulkhead flats.
Train 515 returning to Pontiac past MP 22.5 at 5:43 pm.
A very late 451 with 2 CN GE's NB past MP 22.5 at 5:51 pm.

Re: CN Updates - March 2018
A northbound cleared the detector MP 34.2 at 7:44 PM, with 300 axles. Possibly 451?
