CN Train Location Updates - April 2022

[KC8RBK]

WB Q147 with CN 3895 solo clear Trowbridge at 16:51 - about a dozen cars that looked to be WB freight set off for customs issues in Port Huron as well as some of those Chrysler auto parts boxcars from L533 all on the tail end.

Long cut of empty wells in the middle too.

Now EB CSX L305 will cross the diamond.

147 done working Cory and solid intermodal with a notch 5 restriction. Lights west ahead of another wb 1749

L533S by Mount Clemens depot at 13:45. In addition to the MTC sub customer cars, there appears to be new work for this assignment. Train now carries additional boxes, tank cars, lumber and gons for set off at East Yard. Looks like the FCA empties now go to Detroit for interchange rather than back to PH for their return trip to Mexico. Seems like they tried this awhile back. Forever tinkering.

M383 by Mount Clemens depot at 14:20.

Very busy again today on the MTC. 7 trains, including locals, since midnight.

I have seen the FCA cars leaving and arriving back to Pontiac Yard on several occasions, not consistently though.
