L3019123 is at Bellevue. BNSF 3275/BNSF 5736. 56 cars of fun army stuff for handoff to LSRC.
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? :?:
Lights straight to belsay now to meet a lsrc crew. They will tie onto the tail end and leave with it. Power to flint. Should be close to 219 now 1003

Well looks like I won't be able to get it. Would it stay in the Mount Morris yard for a few days? Or is it just going up to Grayling? This "Army Train" would be a good catch!!!! :wink:

A491 w CN 5648/CN 2535 looks set to depart at West Flint.

IC 1038 is nose to nose on the lead near the yard office with BLE 907. BLE 907 is hooked up to CN 5428 for L514 today. BLE 907 is facing west/south for tonight’s run and CN 5428 will lead the NB run.

CN was pulling up to East Belsay with the train. LSRC would hook onto this train immediately and then CN will hang a marker on the end. The BNSFs will then go back west to flint yard.

I suspect that they will be used for L501 tonight.

Is there now an East Belsay in the timetable? You mean Belsay?

He will pull east of belsay till the tail end clears. Maybe all the way to east flint. I'm not sure how far apart the two are. It's not a particularly long train.

So has CN already handed off the train to LSRC?
