Coming west into Davison late this afternoon, here is CN #399 with 2 units, (second one zebra stripe), and a gazillion cars. Without the help of the time change today, it would have been too dark to photo. Enjoy!

YESSSS!!!! I saw the longest train I've ever seen!!!! It was northbound train 382 with four locos! CN SD70I #5621 led, along with a GTW unit and two SD60s! It came north through Mt. Clemens around 2 p.m. I counted all 173 Cars!!!! I love it when CN runs these long trains!!!!

The longest train previously was a southbound CN in Fraser, 9-7-13! That was 171 cars!!!!
