GTW6401,

Is that Intermodal working Motern an inbound or outbound train?

If it is an outbound train, can you let me (us) know if its a Northbound?

Thanks.

****Southbound CN Intermodal Train by Linden at 11:58am with around 177 cars!!**** (Didn't get an exact car count). CN 5741 is the leader with another CN unit trailing. Even with the empty autoracks, that is a fair amount of tonnage for 2 locos, assuming the containers were loads. He was only moving at about 25 or 30mph.

This train has maybe 30 or so autoracks on the Head End, the rest intermodal. This was either a very late 116 or one of those new Intermodal trains that has been talked about (Southbound would be 146 - maybe?).

It will be interesting to see what continues to occur on the CN as far as new intermodal trains are concerned, which makes me continue to wonder what the new Amazon facility in Detroit will bring as well - if it will mean additional trains or just trucks to and from Chicago for example.
