Yesterday’s A491 had the CN 3233, veterans HU 2/2.

Today’s A491 had CN 3069, Wisconsin Central HU, leading.

An M356 is SB in Stevens Point, WI at 18:45 CDT. It will turn EB in Chicago.

Leading is CN 3023, EJ&E HU, CN 2820 and, DIT, IC 2460 (blue Devil) and CN 2156.

Destination is Flat Rock where the units will all turn and lead an E251 back to the UP where IC 2460/CN 2156 will be handed off the the UP to be taken to their Final resting place, Chicago Heights Processing.
Well, more of the old C40-8 "Variants" are leaving CN!!!! This is happening fast! OK, how long is CN usually keeping these engines at Markham Yard, Homewood, before taking them to Chicago Heights Processing for "Scrapping?" :?: MAN!!!!! My trip to Illinois/Iowa is coming up soon; we (including 'Mazon' and his mom) depart July 6th! Will all these locomotives be gone by then? Or will more come? Looks like all the "Cowls" are going away officially this time!!!! :( :( :( :(

They terminated this train in Chicago supposedly.

But with the IC heritage unit going thru earlier today we’ve had the following heritage units on the Flint Sub in the last week:

CN 3233 vets unit
CN 3023 EJ&E unit
CN 3069 WC unit
CN 3008 IC unit
Plus BCOL 4612. Not a bad week.

L501 today had CN 2983, CN 5441, CN 5692, CN 3266, CN 3936, CN 8896, and CN 5429

A492 picked up CN 2224/CN 2686 in Flint.

Lotta units have been coming into Flint on terminating trains such as E271s and 2 G886s in the last week.

Good week for trains that I never caught! :( Now LansingRailFan, where was the train terminating exactly? Looks like they are going to Homewood for a short time before Chicago Heights Processing®!!!! The real question is will these last intact before July 6th? Also, what does the area around the Chicago Heights Processing® site look like? I want to make a final visit to some "COWLS!!!!" Is this even possible? Is this place friendly? :?:
