WOW!!!! OK, two ex CitiRail® leaders in the same day is great! Not as nice as "Cowls" they replaced of course─but at least it is something different! Not too many of these have P.T.C. equipment! Manistique, the train you are referring was E271 with CN (ex CitiRail®) ES44AC #3967 and CSX ES44AC-H #3114! Below are two videos (© NG Fan) of trains 492 and E271 both at Charlotte, MI, February 11, 2025:

CN 8952 (GT Heritage) leading a EB manifest on the Flint Sub. Griffith, IN at 1:41.

507 by Birmingham at 7:23pm. 334 axles over the 17.8 detector.

Rolling meet with 508. Their train had 92 axles, 20 cars.

There were two northbounds last night on the Holly. I have a feeling that one of them, maybe the second one, was 251, as I don't remember seeing that train go by in the afternoon. They both looked like a 251 with a ton of autoracks and no containers that I saw and both very long.

probably 251 and 507. 251 was running a bit behind yesterday, and 507 didn’t have any intermodal traffic yesterday so it was mainly just autoracks
