I have the Durand scanner feed going and heard a train 388 (not sure I have that correct) with BNSF 5933 leading clear the detector MP 257.1 at 1:40 AM. 294 axles.
This was an eastbound train.

Re: CN Updates: August 2018
What looks like Train 116 SB past MP 22.5 at 6 pm with a CSX lease unit leading a CN one. Can't be a late 116 today as Jim reported a 116 this morning at Pontiac, which I heard go SB past my house around 2:30 am last night. This one that just went by had some mixed freight on the headend. Maybe it is an early 116 for tomorrow? Or an extra?
