CN Train Location Updates August 2020
Re: CN Train Location Updates August 2020
There's a black engine switching Pontiac yard. Didn't get the number or type.
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...

Re: CN Train Location Updates August 2020
Yup, you are right! I had to think about this one! CN bought some used former ATSF C40-8W units from BNSF!!!! They're in the "21XX" series! I have not seen one in a while!penn central wrote: ↑Wed Aug 19, 2020 11:44 amNope it was a widecab for sure i was traveling eastbound on I 69 i seen it in that area where I 69 parallels the Flint Sub it began with the number 21?? i didn't get the last two numbers. It definitely was a widecab.Robertrains wrote: ↑Tue Aug 18, 2020 10:14 pmOK, it must have been a former UP C40-8 standard cab, right? There are no other CN Dash 8s than what was listed! What was the number?penn central wrote: ↑Tue Aug 18, 2020 10:42 amIt was in full CN paint an not a full cowl tho i was kinda surprised to see it i haven't seen a dash 8 in awhile.

Re: CN Train Location Updates August 2020
Not sure if this would logically go here or not but kinda neat info 5610 & 5645 eb through Fostoria with an oil train, both buffer cars on the head end. I didnt catch the train number but I'll keep listening. Would that be a jointly operated train or something like what cp and csx used to do through lansing? I have heard cn crews talking before about running on ns...

Re: CN Train Location Updates August 2020
Hi, I had found this on the web http://cs.trains.com/trn/f/111/p/227945/2543400.aspx
On CN, gate malfunctions are generally covered under Rule 529(A) or 529(B).
Rule 529(A) - Activation Failure When notified of an activation failure crews must: 1) stop before entering the crossing; 2) proceed only on signal from employee at the crossing.
EXCEPTION: If properly equipped flagmen are available to protect the movement, crews may proceed into the crossing not exceeding 15 MPH. Once the crossing is fully occupied the train may proceed at normal speed. A Law Enforcement Officer may protect the crossing in lieu of a properly equipped flagman.
Rule 529(B) - False Activation When notified of a false activation: Proceed into the crossing not exceeding 15 MPH until the crossing is completely occupied. Then proceed at normal speed.
EXCEPTION: If there is a properly equipped flagman available to provide warning for each direction of vehicular traffic or at least one uniformed Law Enforcement Officer, movement may proceed through the crossing at normal speed.
For each type of malfunction the standard grade crossing whistle must be sounded regardless of Locomotive Whistle Quiet Zones (Rule 411). Notify RTC of Rule 411 violation.
