Wb coal train with 2CN mm 205 at 0850

C715, it was a coke train.

Coke train, eh? Looking at the Durand camera archives it came off the Holly Sub in Durand at 7:35am. Any chance this is new business or is this just a fluke?

This specific one came from the Wheeling in Toledo. Supposedly this was a test train, so don't expect them consistently.

Interesting! Well hopefully all goes well and it eventually becomes an established operation. Thanks for the insight FlyingCoffin!

L533S left Mount Clemens for Detroit (East Yard) at 15:55. Likely this will be the only symbol running on the Mount Clemens sub until the strike is settled. I'd imagine that the Flint sub from Flint to Port Huron will get pretty quiet as well...

L533N headed back to PH at 16:36. GTW 4912 - light.

Hi guys. I was the one who reported the whole train with the product in the hoppers came off the wheeling in Toledo, Well I am in fact wrong and will own up to it..However the CN hoppers did come off the Wheeling as they were brought over after being in storage on the Bessemer. The gons or hoppers or whatever you want to call them this day were sent to Zug Island in River Rouge. And from other railfans in the field report that this C715 originated at Zug Island with Kirk Yard as the destination.

And the other wheeling train that had the other set of hoppers that was reportedly in Bellevue that an Akron Canton oh area railfan reported coming off the Bessemer that previously hauled granite ballast from Canada. I have no idea where that set went. Unless both sets were sent to Zug Island.

L514 north through Royal Oak at 2018. They must still be expecting Q148/Q149 in the morning even though there is the Canadian strike.
