Hey GTWChris - when you said 401....did you mean 251? (Although that's a little early for 251).
Hey, I'll take a 401 if that train is back again.
Thanks.

Hey David, 401 has been running between Toledo Lang and Pontiac and returning to Lang so unfortunately won't get up to you. Looks like 251 is just now getting out of Flat Rock.David Lang wrote: ↑Tue Dec 01, 2020 10:54 amHey GTWChris - when you said 401....did you mean 251? (Although that's a little early for 251).

Re: CN Train Location Updates - December 2020
oh, ok....so I assume if 401 has cars bound for places further West, i.e. Battle Creek or Chicago, 251 makes the pickup in Pontiac and continues on.
Does 251 terminate in Battle Creek, or do they run him all the way to Chicago? If he does not terminate in Battle Creek, does he make a pick up / set off there?
Thanks.

Re: CN Train Location Updates - December 2020
Right. If everything runs smoothly, 450 will drop Lang cars at Pontiac. 401 will drop cars from Lang and pickup the Lang cars from 450 at Pontiac. Finally, 251 will pickup the cars from Lang off 401 at Pontiac. All this happens in about 12 hours. 251 terminates at Battle Creek.David Lang wrote: ↑Tue Dec 01, 2020 12:09 pmoh, ok....so I assume if 401 has cars bound for places further West, i.e. Battle Creek or Chicago, 251 makes the pickup in Pontiac and continues on.
