Hey bluewonderrails, do you know where EJ&E SD38-2 #659 went? Will this be "Local" power coming soon? :?: That would be great!!!!! My B-day is next Wednesday too! Now, on "Heritage Units" I discovered last night showing CN "EJE" ET44AC #3023 that must is incorrect!!!! The unit was spotted in Okemos, MI @ 6:20 p.m. Then in Elnora, Alberta @ 11:19 p.m. the same night!!!! WOW!!!! 🤯 Also, it was in Edmonton, AB before "Okemos" that strange day! Also EJE SD38-2 #659 was posted on "HU" working Durand yard that night! Before I discovered the mistake I was excited for these "J" units around! I reported to "Heritage Units!!!!"
The CN "EJE" 3023 mistake may still show (Railyard Productions 1st post): https://heritageunits.com/locomotive/detail/CN3023

514 with a BLE painted tunnel motor leading an SD60, south through Royal Oak at 1852. Not often you see a BLE unit leading an intermodal train!

Yup, found out on Facebook® about "Bessemer" SD40T-3 #907 on train 514!!!! I was too late to see it leading the train though! I only photographed the engines in Ferndale switching Moterm!!!! At least I got it! Great to have EJ&E power in the area too! It also had CN SD60 #5428!!!!! How long do we expect the BLE power on 514? :?:

L500 arrived at Durand At 7:00 PM. Backed into yard by 7:20 and yarded entire train. Went south power light on the Holly to Pontiac at 7:53.

CN 8899/CN 2223

More power for either a Q189/Q117 out of Moterm or something else.

This means that they will have to find a couple of units for L501 tomorrow in Flint, potentially off of an E275 that will terminate there.

Well cool!!!! Is this going to the "Belsay Connection" in Flint right now? When do you expect the LSRC to pick up the "Army" stuff in Flint? Would that happen tomorrow (Sun 7-25)? Also, does anyone know when it will head north? :?:
