did anyone seriously not notice that X319 had the GTW heritage unit in tow?

yes there were multiple posts of the trains locations.....

CN 8952 cannot lead X319 due to its PTC being bad ordered. Most likely wying the power sk it’ll have CN 5600 lead.

13:28 - X319 is lined into Port Huron from Sarnia

14:38 - X319 is in Port Huron now.
