No Amtraks east of Battle Creek on Tuesday and Wednesday, if that hasn’t been posted yet. Track work taking place, I’m assuming? Also, I just checked Amtrak booking and it showed full service Wolverines on Tuesday (4/16) from PNT to CHI, but Wednesday (4/17) shows mixed bus service to BTL of all th...

They were parked at the Pointiac Amtrak, but then they picked up the spare Charger and headed towards the yard. Maybe to wye the set. Just flew south passed Pontiac Amtrak.

I drove under the Holly sub bridge at Orchard Lake and Woodward (directly north of Pontiac Amtrak station) and there were 6 or 7 autoracks sitting on one of the mainlines all by their lonesome. I couldn’t tell if they were on M1 or M2. I had the green to cross Woodward so I didn’t have time to gawk...

CN 251 passing Trenton at 10:49. CN X5 with Ex-CITIRAIL 5th

The three units out of the five I’m suspecting came off of S756.

Squinting at the 480p video, it looks like the following:
CN 3829
CN 3826
CN 3118 (or 3116? as that ET44AC needs a wash)
CN 3021
CN 3956 (ex-CREX)

There’s a baretable stopped over Fort Street in Trenton, with a CN GEVO long hood foward leading. Any idea what this is? Crazy! CN 2698 LHF started crossing at about 16:09. It made a few moves pulling further north, starting and stopping again along the way, but hasn't moved since 17:02, and it's s...

Here's the Trains.com article last week discussing the "loss of shunt" testing that CN has spearheaded on the Holly Sub.

Delay In Block Productions on YouTube is going to premiere a video of them chasing this train at 9pm Eastern tonight! This YouTube link will also take you to the video at any point in the future to watch it, so you don't need to watch it live:
