Original timing is based on 45 MPH track speeds on GR sub. Train has been going anywhere from 50-70 MPH, passenger train speeds.

Something to consider is that there are no passenger train speeds on the Plymouth Sub so track speed is 40 MPH and the timing in between stops should be key.

Also something to consider for everyone is that CN has been DEAD AF lately during the day between no chippies hurting their auto biz and them doing track work during the day, taking advantage of the slowdown in traffic. Thus the odds of this train being caught at all at the Trowbridge diamond by CN are slim to none.

I was able to capture a video from the Bangor cam, but unfortunately due to operator error didn't get a capture from the MIHollandCAM (which was a nice view of the train going by the Holland depot). I use Debut Video Recorder.

Did anyone get a video of the MIHollandCAM view?
