Q122 through Eckles Rd. (MP 324.76) @ 09:54. IC 6250 (OLS), IC 2702, & CN 2671 with 87 cars. Moving right along at track speed.

Yes, but this train waited on the siding at Tunnel Yard in Port Huron for a green! Hopefully it will remain there for a little while longer! It was still there at 11:10 a.m. Now I'm sending my friend Roger to capture this! Do we know if IC "OLS" 6250 is still sitting? Man!!!!

251 rolling past MP 22.5 at 1:27 pm. A lot of mixed freight up front including a long cut of sand cars. The second unit, an 8100, looks like it was renumbered lately. I don't recall an 8100 series before.

That would be 8103, one of the few SD70ACe’s that CN owns. They got them within the last decade.

Durand at 2:39. Did a horn sequence for the Newburg Rd crossing (a quiet zone). Pretty sure there was a CN crew on the ground there as they didn’t do it for the other crossings.
