Manistique, is this a full "Train" or just the "Yellow" M.O.W. vehicles such as "Tamping" equipment? Is there a locomotive or truck pulling train cars?
Where is it going? Please help with some more info!

I'm guessing 149 past i94 at 1157. I couldn't see enough from the highway to say for sure which stack train it is.

Re: CN Updates: July 2018
Very long Q train SB through Mount Clemens at 10:45. Most of the extra Q's on the MTC have been NB, so not sure who this is - possibly a re-routed 149 ? Anyway, heads up on the Holly - might terminate at Ferndale, or work it and continue north...

That work train was just loose equipment including what looks like that contractor welding truck.
Forgot to say that what looked like a short 451 went NB past MP 22.5 early this morning for it, around 9:30 am or so, with a CN unit leading a BNSF one.
