CN Location Updates December - 2023

[KC8RBK]

Wb by 205 at 0617. Cn leading up. The leader had a brutal horn and the up unit was totally dark. I only saw racks but there may have been some other stuff mixed in.

[Manistique]

SB 515 past MP 22.5 at 8:05 am with 5423 and seven empty scrap gondolas, one tank, a ton of loaded centerbeams and a few boxcars. Business must be good at Schlaffers on DCON with so many gons coming and going out of there.

Control Point Gord in Battle Creek is down, signals are all dark. We've had quite a lot of trains this morning and early afternoon. L521 went west with a GT original paint leading. Had a few trains that I am unsure the symbols of if someone could help me out.

Had an eastbound go through Battle Creek Amtrak Station at 10:20 AM, it was a manifest with a few loads of lumber at the front. CN 8841, Ex-Citiral 3961, and CN 5790 leading.

Eastbound local ran through the Amtrak Station at 12:45 long hood forward, CN 5416 was the leader. Not sure if it was L520 or something like that.

NB 515 passed MP 22.5 at 2:41 pm with five boxcars, twelve loaded centerbeams (looked a lot like what was on it this morning's SB), some coiled steel cars (maybe from Conrail) a bunch of short tank car, mostly white ones, and two loaded gondolas with scrap at the end.
