Yesterday there was train A450 southbound on the Holly Sub. It had a CN SD75I and KCSM AC44CW #4508!!!! Now, I saw a Facebook® post about this train! Someone said it should come back north on train E251 today, Halloween!!!! 🎃 🎃 🎃 🎃 🎃 🏴‍☠️ 👹

Be on the lookout for train E251, hopefully with KCSM #4508 leading! Here's the "Trenton Webcam" to watch for: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EazZSDvRgcs

5:00 - EB 2-unit CN M356 to Flat Rock by the 205 cam.

According to GTWChris, they combined this train with A450 in Pontiac as it's all Flat Rock bound. The power from this M356 is leading so the GTW 5932 is 3/4. Train is running south as A450 from Pontiac.

Yup, meant to mention "Southern Belle" which is why I used these colors! I guess "Gray" is getting rare!!!! :roll:
