Re: CN Updates: September 2018
SB Stack Train passing MP 22.5 at 5:28 pm with a UP locomotive (7800?) and an ex CSX PREX 769 (?). The DS snuck him out in front of soon to depart Amtrak 355 and he must have been on Main 2 as he was going pretty fast. Odd time for a Stack Train on a Monday.

515 is stopped NB at Royal Oak Amtrak Station with a Red Signal at Raven.
The Stack Train is creeping by Raven leaving the passengers waiting for Amtrak very confused.

Re: CN Updates: September 2018
L533S by South Mount at 18:41. GTW 4929/GTW 4934, 4 empty centerbeams, 92 containers. Been running back to back units the past week - saving time turning the power at Milwaukee Jct. Nice to hear them growling, up out of the Clinton and Belle River valleys on the long grades, but they are struggling making track speed with the long and heavy NB 533N at night. You can hear them coming a suburb away. Harkens back to the old days west of Durand listening to multiple Geep 38's cranking east out of the Shiawassee dip...

Re: CN Updates: September 2018
You know, I never did see Amtrak 353 and wondered what happened. I wasn't home at 8 am today. Why did it leave so early today?GTW6401 wrote:Amtrak 353 left Pontiac at 8am.Manistique wrote:Train 950 with 4632 SB past MP 22.5 at 9:58 am on Main 1 out ahead of Amtrak.

Re: CN Updates: September 2018
Amtrak 351 seems to be leaving Pontiac five minutes or so later lately. Today it was followed down the Hill by a freight train. I was thinking maybe 116 but from what I could see in the dark it was all mixed freight and more of a Mount Clemens Sub train with a lot of jumbo covered hoppers and tank cars than the typical Holly Sub. train. Two locomotives. Maybe a reroute?
Train 950 almost snuck by me just now at 9 am going SB. It looked like he had a black locomotive today instead of blue 4632.
The are doing track work for the second week in Pontiac at the Woodward Ave crossing and often have one main tied up.

Train 950 returning to Pontiac past MP 22.5 at 1:50 pm and it did have 4632 again, not a black locomotive as I reported earlier.
