Re: CN Updates- February 2019
Amtrak 350 into Pontiac was pretty much on time today and had a locomotive on each end again for some reason. Same with its leaving as 355: on time and two locomotives.

Re: CN Updates- February 2019
Recap of the last hour or so by 205. Just now 2 bnsf orange units power light headed for battle creek, both units long hood forward. 365 was by around 9. Maybe 830or so a short rack train was by with former up power, couldn't tell if it was one unit or 2.

Re: CN Updates- February 2019
At 9:20 am Train 515 with IC 6200 SB past MP 22.5.
At 9:35 am a NB freight with a CN leading a CSX elephant style was NB past MP 22.5. Short train. Early 371 or one of those occasional Flat Rock extras?
At 9:50 am lite SD40 5930 went NB past MP 22.5. Must have been 513 from last night that ventured on the Holly south of Pontiac.

Re: CN Updates- February 2019
This should be train 382!!!! The leader is a GECX C40-8W #73XX (CSX YN3 paint), 2 CN engines (third is CN SD75I #5661), 156 cars! I got this in the snow at 25 Mile Road, Chesterfield Township.ConrailDetroit wrote:382? By Beaubien. CSX and 2 CNs.

Re: CN Updates- February 2019
Returning Train 515 past MP 22.5 at 3:13 pm with IC 6200 and close to 40 cars from local industries including a lot of short hicubes and covered coiled steel cars again.
Amtrak 350 just went NB past MP 22.5 almost two hours late today. It had a locomotive on either end (maybe to quicken its turnaround time in Pontiac as 355 due to its tardiness so often lately?), four coaches and a baggage car. I wonder why they have an extra locomotive sitting at Pontiac depot if they don't use it for 350/355's turnaround?
And Amtrak 355 left Pontiac on time with a locomotive on both ends.
What I presume is 371 was NB past MP 22.5 with a leased ex-BNSF unit and a CSX one (also leased?) and a very short train at 6:20 pm, a bit late for this train.

Headed back west at 1227. Moving slow compared to the last pass probably because its following another train fairly close.KC8RBK wrote:Ptc test train eb by 205 at 1721. Cn unit, blue passenger car, red caboose, cn unit. Lined east on m2 to mill, meeting a wb there.
