Nice meet out back at 3:50 pm with 116 flying SB on Main 1 at about 50 mph and 251 slugging slowly uphill on Main 2 at MP 22.5.

Re: CN Train Location Updates - March 2023
This is an interesting move! I heard him go by, I presumed it was a 515 or 513 as it was so short. But I never heard of an interyard transfer with NS's Oakwood Yard before. What are the Charter Steel cars?LansingRailFan wrote: ↑Mon Mar 13, 2023 9:28 pm21:10 - SB L515 w GTW 5931 and the two Charter Steel cars headed from Pontiac to Oakwood Yard
And today's SB 515 just went past MP 22.5 with 5931 at around 8:20 am.

Re: CN Train Location Updates - March 2023
12:15 - EB A492 w CN 8897/CN 5729/CN 5601 - today’s train features two cuts of loaded coke hoppers w BLE reporting marks. These have been going down via L508 and then back on E251 for over a week in blocks.
12:30 - EB Q116 w CN 8836/CN 2291 thru Charlotte - per scanner, entire train is being put away in Lansing. Presumably Moterm is congested as Q116 and L508 were heavy on intermodal last night. Autoracks will be placed in Cory Yard and Snow Yard w intermodal going in Millet Pass.

15:30 - EB Q116 w CN 8836/CN 2291 power light thru Trowbridge. They dropped their train at Cory and Snow Yards. CN’s colourrr system had them terminate at Snow and resymbol as K11691 but that was taking too long so they continued on as Q116

Light power just drifted SB past MP 22.5 on the Holly. Maybe 508? Two CN's.
