Re: CN Updates - March 2018
Folkz, yesterday (3-15) I missed an awesome train 385!!!! It had a Gevo leading, a "Cowl" CN, another CN GE─with three CN GMD1u engines! I'm so mad that I didn't even go to the tracks! I checked my "FB" this morning only to find out I missed this train!!!! Did anyone here catch 385 yesterday?
Also, does anyone know where these GMD1u locos are headed?

Re: CN Updates - March 2018
I think the C of G heritage unit is on a westbound freight that was sitting on the west end of the yard at Port Huron about half an hour ago. It's not leading, but there's another (normal) NS unit behind it. The leader was somewhere under the I-94 overpass, out of my field of vision.

Re: CN Updates - March 2018
I believe 116 with a ns leader just passed 219 although I didn't see any stacks when it came by here so it either was something else with ns power, they don't have any today or I whimped out because of the cold and missed them. Maybe 451 by 205 at 2128. I believe its the train that was doing a pickup at cory when I came home a bit ago.

Re: CN Updates - March 2018
Westbound going through Durand at 2:00pm with two CN's and a BC Rail cowl for power. An eastbound is going through as well. I missed the power but I'm assuming it's the EB that KC8RBK mentioned earlier as going by 205 at 12:28pm.

Re: CN Updates - March 2018
At 4:30 pm a lite GE locomotive drifted southward past MP 22.2 on the Holly pointing south. Maybe an extra stack train tonight? If so I wonder if they will send it running in reverse or wye it at Milwaukee Junction.
The weekend local train with 6223 just went flying NB past MP 22.5 on its return to Pontiac at 5:37 pm.
