02:22 - EB M302 with CN/CN f/r - shorter train now that they are dropping their block of cars for Sarnia in BC - this is why the A492s have been longer and haven't been picking up in Flint. Now there is a new symbol based out of Port Huron, L51261, that handles traffic from Flint to Sarnia, also working Lapeer and possibly the truss customer too. L51261 may run to Durand as well.

Cool! It is true that old "Dash 8 variants" are coming back! They're being re-activated for the "Grain Shipping" season!!!! We shall see some "Cowls" again soon too!!!! This morning (Sept. 8 ) another IC C40-8W "Blue Devil" came into Michigan!!!! It is IC 2463! It was last reported on "Heritage Units" in Edwarsburg @ 7:06 a.m. heading east (by NashRailfanYT)! IC 2463 link: https://heritageunits.com/locomotive/detail/IC2463

Did anyone here catch yesterday's (9-9) 383? It looks like it may have had IC "Blue Devil" 2457 working! CN is bringing back old Dash 8s/Cowls for the "Grain Rush!!!!" Looks like that may have already started! A couple days ago there were two "Blue Devils" on the Flint Sub. (2457/2463)! "Heritage Units" reports IC 2457 at Toledo, OH yesterday (9-9) as train 382 @ 3:32 p.m.! That is probably for today's northbound 382 as it had to go south yesterday! Is anyone out there catching it? It was heading for Sarnia two days ago!!

They took A492 to Sarnia, M383 to Toledo where they will be handed off to CSX(?) to go to LTEX. From there they will be parted out before being taken to scrap yard in Cleveland
