C0OOOO!!!!!!!!!! I saw posts on Facebook® about these engines! What time did train 394 finally make it to Port Huron? I also read that GO is getting eight of these! GO Transit® got rid of their own F59s years ago! I saw those operating solely on GO in Toronto and area in 1995, 1996 and 1999 on a few trips with my late Dad (RCJ I)! I read from an internet search that GO is getting eight of these!!!! Well, there will be six more in transit on CN soon I would think!

There’s six more sitting in Kirk. I’d expect the next three M394s to have a pair of them provided tonnage allows and there’s no issues with the engines.

I photographed southbound train 383! It was led by a "Regular CN GE Widecab" followed by CN rebuilt C44-9W now an AC44C6M #3322(?) with 123 cars! It cleared Masonic Road, Fraser, at 8:45 a.m. Hey, Manistique, what else is running? Locals? Is GTW 5851 on anything today?
