They’re pulling the ones stored in Flat Rock/Toledo out of storage and sending them to the UP and elsewhere on the CN system. I thought I told you this when 251 passed today in Royal Oak lolGraham Halverson wrote: ↑Fri Feb 16, 2024 5:41 pmCN 507 by the Fort St cam at 17:22.
CN + CN 100 + CN.
Once again, a lot of baretables. Anyone have an answer as to why?

508 just rolled by MP 22.5. About seven or eight loaded gondolas on the head end, the car owner letters may indicate they were from DCON and Schlafers Scrap there. A lot of tank cars. No steel cars (do they still move that, I haven't noticed in the dark this winter) and then some containers.

UP 6628 leading another VIA Rail trainset headed for Canada. Just passed Blue Island IL at 0518 EST.
This is my life. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
If this is a problem get used to it.

Amtrak 350 was 20 minutes late leaving Pontiac this morning.
At 6:45 am what sounded like a light locomotive or very short train went SB past MP 22.5. A bit early for the usual 515.

NB 515 with 9607 and about 20 cars, the first 8 or 9 boxcars including a full Conrail and full SP one, passed MP 22.5 at 11:13 am. This must have been what I heard at 6:45 this morning. It had no trouble up the hill going about 35 mph.

251 was past MP 22.1 at 12:05 pm. Very long train with a lot of mixed freight including a long string of AIM gondolas in various sizes, empty centerbeams, a lot of boxcars and at least half of it, in a number of blocks, autoracks.

116 rolling past MP 22.5 rather slowly with dynamic brakes on the single CN whining at 2:39 pm. Short train, all containers as previously reported.
No Amtrak 350 yet. Running close to 45 minutes late for some reason.

Manistique, which engine is 9607? Is this the CN painted IC GP38-2? Edit: Yes, I confirmed it is that engine!!!!Manistique wrote: ↑Sat Feb 17, 2024 11:13 amNB 515 with 9607 and about 20 cars, the first 8 or 9 boxcars including a full Conrail and full SP one, passed MP 22.5 at 11:13 am.

What appears to be 508 is going south through Linden at 8:18pm. 5 CN engines leading. IIRC the trailing units number was 5296, with the preceding two units appearing to be the same loco type. Two generic newer units were leading.

251 passing MP 22.5 at a fairly good clip for such a long train at 1:35 pm.
