Re: CN Updates- April 2019
One of those Hulcher (sp?) work trains with the cowled yellow Geep as power just went NB past MP 22.5 at 9:41 am.
And with the north wind I could hear the Hulcher train blowing and at the same time a SB blowing for all the road crossings in Pontiac and just now, at 9:47 am, Train 515 with CN 5746, rolled by, the engineer tooting to make sure I noticed the big road locomotive he had today.
At 11:05 am another identical Hulcher train went NB past MP 22.5.

Re: CN Updates- April 2019
Thanks for the heads up GTW6401. Should be a fairly busy evening on the MTC, with L533 returning to PH and probably M384 thrown in as well.GTW6401 wrote:Also have an X382 going north after them.

Re: CN Updates- April 2019
A local 513 just drifted down the Hill past MP 22.5. Didn't catch the power in the dark but it sounded like a GP38.

Re: CN Updates- April 2019
Train 513 returned to Pontiac passing MP 22.5 at 3:40 am.
A SB freight went by shortly after 513 passed here.
At 5:57 am (Amtrak 351's usual time to pass my house) a short SB went by. Maybe the Budd inspection car? Amtrak followed it running about eight minutes late.

Re: CN Updates- April 2019
M383 was by North Mount at 05:20.
M382 was by Mount Clemens depot at 09:30.
Tampers and ballast regulators have been working in the area for the last several days, including tamping the MOUNT siding. An army of CN maintainers and MOW workers along the line, and more CN trucks than cars on the road around here. That time of year...
