CN 251 passing Fort St at 10:44 with a whopping 7 locomotives. All CN

What were all the CN engine numbers? WOW!!!!

1. There was no CP heritage unit. 2. The train left the auto racks on the main at Smith’s Creek 3. L533 or L534 came and got them and took them back to Port Huron 4. There is nothing to panic about or emoji over. 5. Merry Christmas Robert! Well OK, LansingRailfan ! Not "Panicking" too much! WOW!!!!...

LansingRailfan! Where did 385 set out the 30 "Auto Racks?" Did they drop them on the siding between 9 and 8 Mile? Maybe this was the additional train I heard yesterday! Was it local 533 heading north around 1:30 p.m. in Fraser? They don't usually go south of Mount Clemens! The unknown train was ahe...

:mrgreen: OK, I saw a Christmas train going for the first time !!!!! Southbound 385 came in Fraser (green signal was over 1.5 hours)! YES !!!! It had two regular CN ET44AC/ES44AC s and had 125 cars! It came at Masonic Road at 4:55 p.m. :shock: :shock: WOW !!!! :shock: :shock: 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 "Happy Christma...

CP and CN lite power out of Flat Rock?? What’s this about? I cant come railfanning today, wish I could see that CP Military Heritage Unit on E251. OK, that CP "Military Heritage Unit" [/size] leading a CN unit is not on train E251 (read Graham Halverson's post below)! What train was it on? :?: Mayb...

Fog makes it hard too see but it almost looks like CP leading a train waiting outside Flat Rock. Parked almost on the sidewalk :shock: :shock: Delray , do you (or anyone) which train is this? :?: COOL!!!! :shock: :shock: If I were to guess it would be 251 for the Holly Sub. It would be nice if this...

116 passing MP 22.5 at 3:07 pm. It was nice to see that GP40 on 251. Those were mainline locomotives not too long ago. CN loved its GP40's. No one else did. WB L508 with CN 8952 (GTW HU) clear MP 259 flint sub at 16:13 OK, great " GTW Heritage " #8952 is back on train 508 / 507 !!!! Well, I won't b...

OK, does the power for trains 507 / 508 alternate? Will CN " GTW Heritage Unit " SD70M-2 #8952 go south tomorrow, Thursday 12-21? :?: It makes sense to rotate power because each shift would travel one direction, Flint to Flat Rock and vice versa! Right? Where do trains 507 / 508 pass usually? Well,...

508 south by Waterford at 7:25 with 8943 and 8005 up front with no stacks and a loooong manifest cut up front. Not sure if it’s working Pontiac. OK, does the power for trains 507 / 508 alternate? :?: Will CN " GTW Heritage Unit " SD70M-2 #8952 go south tomorrow, Thursday 12-21? :?: It makes sense t...

Thanks RobertTrains for the confirmation on Train 508. Looks like GTW 8952 needs a good washing - all heritage units in my opinion should be washed - be proud of your heritage - ware those GTW colors clean! (Yeah right, the RR could care less about clean locomotives). I remember when railcars were ...

OK folkz! This post on "Heritage Units" seems "Bogus!!!!!" Did a train go through Mount Clemens today with IC "Blue Devil" C40-8W #2459 ? :shock: :shock: :!: :?: :?: This cannot be right as this engine was sent to Welland, ON for "Scrap!!!!" This post (only the 6th by kenneth20ga) says "Really nice ...
