CN Updates February 2021

[KC8RBK]

Wb stopped at potterville waiting on congestion ahead. That train has the crew off a dead train parked on the service at crytes rd. Wb at Okemos lined up behind the one stopped at potterville. Eb at Vernon, meeting one at east durand. Listening to the crews talk on the radio a bit ago it sounds like battle creek is suffering a bad crew shortage with barely enough people to keep things moving.

CN 3008 (IC Heritage Unit)/5720/5652 are mid and rear DPUs.

Has to set off in Flint today. Currently train is 13,800 feet long.

Cn 5710 +1 eb by 205 at 1000. The sun is out over here so nice and clear on the camera today. The slow order is 204.1 if I heard them right earlier.

149 was coming off with the head 10 going into 13 and they do have a pickup but they didn't say how many cars so the footage should still be close to the same and the power will stay the same as earlier reported. There's another train tying down on the service and the crew from that one will continue on 149.
