EB m396 thru Charlotte w CN 3155 and UP 6362

WB M399 is coming our way and will be on the Flint Sub for breakfast with CN 3155/UP 6362 and also CSX 5308.

CSX 5308 was on E251 on 12/26 and an EB E274 on 12/28.

CN 3155/UP 6362 were on M396 on Tuesday, 12/28.

396/399 handle traffic to and from CN Eastern Canada/Toronto to Union Pacific so that’s why we see UP engines on these trains.
