Re: CN Updates - April 2018
I caught what sure looked like 116 at Williams Lake Rd. at 11:25 PM. I don't think it was over 4,000 feet long. Power had CSX marking but did not get the chance to see if they were ex-CSX leased units or current "On loan" CSX units. The lead unit was 960 or 980, Trailing was 920.

Re: CN Updates - April 2018
An early Train 451 with two CN units NB past MP 22.5 at 10:50 am on Main 2. As it was passing my house Amtrak 353 flew by SB on Main 1 for a high-speed meeting on the two-track Holly mainline.
What looked like 116 or an extra 116 led by a single cowl unit (I think), 4616 (I think) SB past MP 22.5 at 7 pm with some mixed freight on the head end. Shorter train.

Re: CN Updates - April 2018
That doublestack Jim reported on the Holly is just going SB past MP 22.5 at 2:04 pm.
Train 451 heading past MP 22.5 on the Holly at 2:51 with CN 3088 leading another CN GE then NS 9785 (?).
Next train 950 with 6221 NB past MP 22.5. Amtrak should be just leaving Troy Station now, about 30 minutes behind schedule, so they snuck two freights out in front of it.
Amtrak 350 had three or four additional cars on the tail end (including two Amtrak Superliners) that looked like an inspection train or business train and two locomotives back to back. I notice it is posted as being over an hour late leaving Pontiac and was about 45 minutes late arriving so I wonder if they are wying the train at Pontiac Yard instead of just running the power around it to keep the business cars on the tail end?

Re: CN Updates - April 2018
I observed what appeared to be a rather late Q149 on the west end of the yard at Port Huron on my way home from work tonight (just before 7pm). The train was blocking Griswold Road, and the power appeared to be on the west end of the train. The cars were single and double stacked well cars, with the same type of containers I see on 149.
Is there another intermodal train running on the Flint Sub, other than the 148/149 pair?
