E271 WB at Durand w CN 8956/CN 2242 at 10:35
Thru Scanner, they are dropping their racks at Cory Yard and picking up anything that is there and has to go west before heading west to BC.

Interesting as we haven’t seen a 271 drop at Cory in a long time.
10/25/21 16:20 46 rainy degrees at CN MP 202 Charlotte as CN 8956 and CN 2242 power Train 542 over the curve. This train worked Corey and Snow Yards earlier this afternoon. Originally as E271 out of Port Huron with auto racks, now L542 with CN 2268 and CN 8867 added, power from 10/23/25 C712, and 130 empty coal hoppers in tow to Battle Creek.
