[Robertrains]

09:00. - EB U714 with UP 5921/UP 3630/UP 6236 by the Charlotte cam. Third engine is in Southern Pacific livery still.
09:50 - EB U714 clear East Lansing Amtrak station

LansingRailfan! Where is train U714 currently (around 11:30 a.m.)? Yesterday (11-15) we (incl. Roger/wife Sandy/'Mazon') went along the CN Flint Sub and saw no trains going at all!!!! Why? Is there more track work? We were at the tracks between around 6 and 9:20 p.m. Though, ate at Casey's Pizza® in Port Huron and could have missed something! "Mazon" and I both photographed "Time Exposures" of Lapeer Industrial® Center Cab 65 Tonner switcher in Lapeer first though!!!! These night shots were cool! YES!!!! Both of us were at each end of the switcher and "Flashed" the engine at the same time! Currently at Roger's home laptop computer where we stayed last night in Casco TWP.!

According to FB another VIA set is on the way. Tomorrow or the next day

Well, where is this Via® Siemens® set? Looks like I am not able to catch!

Great point Lansingrailfan.

Yeah..except for the occasional extra, North of Pontiac is only 116, 251, 507, and 508.

Sure wish I could have seen the Holly Sub in its hey day.

I love Casey’s Pizza in Port Huron. It’s a great place to eat.

U714 should be in Port Huron by now.

P276 is being held at South Bend along with another EB by NS

Northbound 251 by me in Linden at 1:20pm with 3 CN locomotives and 67 cars. He's probably getting close to Durand by now as I'm typing this.

Schoolcraft around 3. Single CN leader

[Graham Halverson]

SD60 trailing on L507, odds are it will replace 5851 in Pontiac.

Are you sure? I Didn't see it go through the Charlotte Cam. M394 did go through though.
Edit P276 did sneak through the cam at 16:48, it just didn't update on the screen for the last 5 trains.

I'm wondering RoyalKingoftheRails, was that you I had talked to at MP 225 before M394 passed?
17:37 - M394 east thru MP 225 with 3203 leading and 3052 mid-train. 160 cars provided there were no articulated sets.
