CN Intermodals
Do trains 148/149 begin and end in Chicago?
If so, which yard?
Do the stacks on 116 come from the same place?

Re: CN Intermodals
At one time 148/149 were Montreal to New Orleans, or so I thought. Not sure where 116 originates.

Re: CN Intermodals
Last I had heard 148/149 were Chicago-Montreal trains, and 116 was Vancouver, BC to Flat Rock.

Re: CN Intermodals
Correct. Q148-91 is Chicago, IL - Montreal, PQ and Q149-21 is Montreal, PQ - Chicago, IL.atrainguy60 wrote:Last I had heard 148/149 were Chicago-Montreal trains, and 116 was Vancouver, BC to Flat Rock.
However, Q116-51 is Roberts Bank, BC - Chicago, IL and Q116-91 is Chicago, IL - Flat Rock, MI. Technically, they're two separate trains.
Re: CN Intermodals
What intermodal traffic goes to Flat Rock? Or is this symbol also used for vehicle rack trains?

Re: CN Intermodals
From what I understand, this train runs with intermodal and manifest traffic. The intermodal is set out at Moterm Yard while the rest of the train goes to Flat Rock.AARR wrote:What intermodal traffic goes to Flat Rock?

Re: CN Intermodals
Thanks, FLA581. I thought the train out of Fat Rock that handles Moterm intermodal and everything else in-between Battle Creek was 451 .

Re: CN Intermodals
Thanks again. Do we know which yard 148 originates from?
I thought I had seen pictures of 148 on the J at West Chicago, but maybe it was actually 116.

Q148-91 originates and Q149-21 terminates at Chicago Intermodal Terminal (ex-IC Markham hump yard).Dan Cluley wrote:Thanks again. Do we know which yard 148 originates from?
