YESS 🦓 🦓 CN "Zebra Cowl!!!!" 🦓 🦓 Does anyone know where northbound A484 (old 384?) is today, 4-20? Is it running late like train A485 (or 385?) did yesterday? :?: Would it come at dark? I'd like to catch this 🦓 🦓 CN "Zebra Cowl" 🦓 🦓 again!!!! :wink:
M384 - likely after dark on the MTC, but could be early. BTW, A482 is currently the only "A" symbol on the line - all others have reverted to "M" - at least for now. Score card has been filled with scratch marks for the past 12 months.

OK, I just went to this "Webcam" since the "Fort Street" one is down!!!! I saw a train crossing with a 🦓 🦓 CN "Zebra Cowl!!!!" 🦓 🦓 Yesterday's train 385 (seen on Facebook®) had the locos 🐘 🐘 "Elephant Style!!!!" 🐘🐘 The train I just witnessed had a "Regular CN" GE lead, 🦓 🦓 CN "Zebra Cowl" 🦓 🦓 trailing! If this is 384, it should be here in about two hours! Maybe slower with snow/rail! Anyone know? :?: Here's the cameras I saw it on: http://rrcrossings.woodhavenmi.org/

SB departing Pontiac Yard about 15 minutes ago. It didn't seem like a long train. Mostly 2-bay covered hoppers with a smattering of box cars and tank cars. If it wasn't so late in the day I'd almost think it was a local.
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...

It's a monthly occurrence - usually cycled down to Huntington (WV) for maintenance or heavier work.

CN 8829 & 2895 with 61 cars. Went into Haven siding @ 21:33.

M385 slowly came down the main @ 22:06. CN 2694 & BCOL 4653 with 131 cars. I believe there was a crossing issue south of Haven somewhere but I’m not 100% sure.
