Yea I know its comming. The wife says look you line up for it, and I said yea if they dont find a way to scr** me out of it. I have no faith at all, until the phone rings, just the thought of it would be cool, plus easy night.

As of this morning, it is in CN's Orion Yard, just north of the GM Orion PLant.

The bad news is that there is no place to get good pictures there. Had they pushed it into GM's plant, there would have been some good photo ops, but they positioned a chunk of it at Giddings Rd., and began unloading there.

I got photos of it, at Livernois yard. Crew made it up in 5 hours, then handed off to CR crew to passenger cars away in Livernois. I arrived at 4:00 on a deadhead and turn on Q150, and got time shots of the animnal cars on the Livernois overpass at 4:445 as they headed to CP Vinewood, and handed off the cars to the CN. CN brought there own power.

Any idea Matt when it will go back south? -Chris

[sd70accsxt700]

Some time early morning this comming Monday. Could be a daylight run south of Delray, down the Lincoln Secondary. Most of the time, the trains are loaded and ready to move by midnight. So leave Lake Orion, get to Livernois, by say 4:00, a couple of hours at Livernois getting the passenger cars back, guess leave around 6:00, to head for Toledo, but this is just a guess.
