I caught what I believe to be 391 at Williams Lake Rd at 9:18 PM. all of about 10 to 12 cars.

NS 4157
CN 2931
CN missed seeing numbers.

This train is not 391 as it is lined up across the diamond into the yard at Durand.

Forgot to post it earlier. Maybe 930-10 116 was by 205 with cn trailing. Looked like cn leading but not 100% sure. Front half stacks, back half racks. Just now, 2320, eb by 205 with cn leading Citi. First half dozen or dozen cars were empty log cars. Not a super long train.

I have the Durand scanner feed going CN 2318 leading sounds like this should be 116.

This train is good to depart Durand eastbound with 106 cars, 6097 feet.

CN 3047 Leading they did not mention engine numbers during the markup, I would imagine that CN 2931 and NS 4157 is still with the train.

There are no
GTW units in "94XX" series! It may have been an Illinois Central® GP40-2 or something like that!!!!
