That 116 reported earlier just went SB past MP 22.5 at 12:40 pm. Speaking of container trains, I have not seen the weekly "international" one in a few months. It used to arrive at Moterm on Thursdays and head back to Prince Rupert or somewhere a day or two later.

148 type train by 205 at 1330 with 400 axles and 2 cn units. Last time I posted one of these that was off schedule it turned out to be a 116 extra. Currently it's lined up m2 to Okemos.Manistique wrote:Speaking of container trains, I have not seen the weekly "international" one in a few months.

Re: CN Updates- December 2018
Two light road engines SB past MP 22.5 at 7:40 pm. Too dark to see what they were. I wonder if this was the power off that 116 this afternoon. However, I did drive by Moterm around 1:45 pm and a train was working the yard with mixed freight and doublestacks on it and if that was 116 it should have gone onto Flat Rock with the mixed freight. And I drove by Moterm again about a half hour ago on the way home and saw empty well cars moving SB over the 8 Mile bridge. Maybe that was 533 heading back to Port Huron? Lot of Moterm action and questions today.

Re: CN Updates- December 2018
There was an extra doublestack train NB out of Moterm on the Holly last night. It went past MP 22.5 at around 10 pm. I spent a day in Sandusky, Ohio last week on the NS mainline. Trains ran every 20 minutes or so and almost all that I saw were intermodal, including even piggybacks. CN just struggles to increase this business on GTW. Those UP container trains that were suppose to happen never seemed to have.Manistique wrote:Two light road engines SB past MP 22.5 at 7:40 pm. Too dark to see what they were.

Could the frequent extra intermodals over the last year be coming to / from UP?Manistique wrote:There was an extra doublestack train NB out of Moterm on the Holly last night.
