Re: CN Updates - April 2018
I caught 116 @ Airport Rd right around 2:30 AM, as I returned from getting gas in the truck, missed seeing the power. At 3:37 AM a train with about 35 cars come north on the Holly and headed west, CN 2166 if I recall correctly.

Re: CN Updates - April 2018
Two locomotives drifted NB lite at 6:45 am past MP 22.5 headed to Pontiac. One was an NS unit. I presume they were from that 116 that Jim reported earlier that must have just had containers in the consist today so no need to go to Flat Rock today.
Returning Train 950 with 4917 and a fairly long train for it, including well cars and two autoracks, was NB past MP 22.2 at 12:15 pm returning to Pontiac.

Re: CN Updates - April 2018
502 is pulling into Pontiac yard, had 158 axles at the detector MP 34.2. CN 250(2 or 6)
502 did have a meet at Holly (451?) this train is making the turn westbound atDurand as I type this 2 CN & 1 NS
Edit to add:
After rereading posts above, if that was 451 I just watched on camera at Durand then it picked up power at Pontiac.

Re: CN Updates - April 2018
391 is westbound from Durand at 1:00 AM. with all of 6 cars.
I could not see numbers but BNSF leading with a CN unit trailing.
Also what I am guessing to be 514 is southbound at Gaines. 1:09 AM.

The NS Savannah & Atlanta Heritage unit is still holding down the L539/540 jobs in the Upper Peninsula between Partridge and L'Anse. Still paired with a BNSF GEVO.
U745 and L549 are currently using an ex-CSX 7300-series C40-8W in YN3B paired with the NS 1115.
