Noticed a train waiting to leave Battle Creek yard eastbound, CN leader but 2nd was a bright yellow, new looking engine 701 with large Progress Rail logo, didnt find it in a quick look through some rosters...a demonstrator maybe? It was a ways away in poor light, but it looked to be all or mostly yellow, not the yellow/black CAT paint design I've seen before.
