CN Flint Subdivision 5-23-2008

Unread post by mikekmac »

Caught a few trains on the Flint Sub today, but unfortunately didn't have a chance to post when the information might have been useful to anyone else.

Amtrak 365 (Blue Water) passed through the construction zone at Farm Lane (milepost 224.66) at 8:20 am. Same pair of P42s we've been seeing a lot of recently--#36 in the lead, #37 trailing.

CN train 392 was EB through the Farm Lane construction at 8:27am. It was a "light" power move--IC 1021, UP 9287, CN 5358, CN 2706, and CN 5759. I guess they had a big pickup waiting for them at Flint.

CN train 251 was WB across Harrison Road (milepost 223.85) at 9:13am. Power was BNSF 8190, taking autoracks to Cory Yard.

CN train 385 was WB across Harrison Road at 9:50am. CN 8825 and CN 5687 hauling a long intermodal.

CN train 395 was WB at Okemos Road (milepost 227.5) at 2:05pm. Heavy mixed freight behind CN 8800 and CN 5258. Lots of tank cars: alcohol, LPG, diesel fuel, anhydrous ammonia.

Along with catching CSX Q335 and NS B30, it was a pretty good day...

Hmmmm. Is there really a 385, and if so, what's the origin and terminus?

M385 is a Toronto-Toledo train, i don't think M385 would ever travel on the Flint Sub unless CN is going haywire again.
