Re: CN Updates- July 2019
What I presume was that X326 went SB down the Hill at 6 am. The DS must have delayed Amtrak at Pontiac station for it as Amtrak 351 just went by MP 22.5 at 6:13 am, about 15 minutes late.

I caught this train in Holly! Is 502 train a "Re-route?" I hope it was since I have not caught any of those! I was in Pt. Huron yesterday, caught LSRC, but they will still be working for a while!!!!

Re: CN Updates- July 2019
Train 502 is a regular train on the Holly. It usually runs at night on the Holly. Did it have a BCRail Cowl as one of the units? That was X502 running yesterday afternoon which may have been run because of the Tunnel Incident.Robertrains wrote:GTW6401 wrote:502 is departing from Pontiac. BCOL 4618 and CN 8838.

Re: CN Updates- July 2019
A very long train, about half autoracks the rest very mixed, just went SB past MP 22.5 at 3:06 pm. Missed the power.
Another reroute from the looks of it just went SB past MP 22.5 at 4:30 pm. Two CN on front and two in the middle. I never knew there were so many different types of tank cars, and covered hoppers, or that CN even had covered hoppers, and that there were still boxcars out there.

Re: CN Updates- July 2019
Per Facebook, the first train was an X116 and E280 combined in Pontiac. The second is a 328 re-route bound for Windsor and Toronto.Manistique wrote:A very long train, about half autoracks the rest very mixed, just went SB past MP 22.5 at 3:06 pm. Missed the power.

Also, it looks like M371 is on the move NB in Royal Oak as of 17:00.

The lead engine was a BCRail "Cowl" unit leading, but in "CN" paint! Now, it came south through Holly around 7:18 p.m. It was a mixed train with mostly "Auto Racks!!!!"
This was train "502" as kc8bdr mentioned (quoted below) shortly after that train we saw! Gosh, we went out to Holly to get "Re-routes" but got there after a few passed!!!!

Re: CN Updates- July 2019
The daily MTC sub train, L533, just lugged his boxcars south to East Yard. He'll be back north soon, and the patina will reappear on the rails of the all too quiet subdivision...

Re: CN Updates- July 2019
A NB is passing MP 22.5 at 9:08 pm with three CN's. It is 391's usual time but it looks more like one of those long Mount Clemens Sub. trains consist-wise. Maybe 391 doing double duty with reroute cars.

Re: CN Updates- July 2019
I caught 514 northbound at Williams Lake Rd. at 11:48 PM. all empty center beams. I would guess 40 plus cars.
CN 5459
CN ????
They will be meeting an X362 CN 8826 at Holly.
I have not heard of a 362 I am thinking this is a reroute but not recalling a 362 on the Flint Sub.
Edit to add:
I caught X362 at Airport Rd. at 12:54 AM
CN 8826

BNSF ????
514 cleared the detector MP 59.9 at 1:12 AM 308 axels.

Re: CN Updates- July 2019
This was another re-route train, 369. Caught this in Detroit. The last two engines were CN-painted IC units.Manistique wrote:A NB is passing MP 22.5 at 9:08 pm with three CN's.
