Quick questions, I was wondering if anyone know if 147 and the new 122/123 are daily or as needed? Also is there a 146 counterpart to 147?

Haven’t seen a 146 in a long time.

122/123 are daily

147 is daily now. Replacing e271s to flint unless they are receiving a lot of racks. Then they’ll get a 147 and an e271

Q116 has dropped down to terminating in BC daily and, as needed and rarely, continuing on to Pontiac/Ferndale/Flat Rock

147, 148, 122 and 123 all will be racks/intermodal although not necessarily when we see them.

149 will have racks sometime but most likely will be all intermodal.

Thanks for all the info! In terms of intermodal trains on the Flint Sub, it's a step up from only having 148 and 149 like a few years ago.

Yeah. We've had some X123s, X120/X121s but they mostly seemed to be reroutes or at best, weekly. This is a whole new operating plan, pairing intermodal with autoracks.

04:04 - EB L500 with CN/CN ex-citi f/f with cars for CN and JAIL (Lansing), GLC and HESR (Durand), CN and LSRC (Flint), intermodal (L508/Moterm) and autoracks and misc cars (Toledo/L508) - very long train today.

09:08 - EB L500 with CN 8833/CN 8011 arrives in Durand. CN did not work Durand yesterday so there's a lot of work to do.

11:15 - EB L500 pulls out of Durand Yard using the PH Wye after setting off around 40 each for HESR and GLC. It looks like they picked up a substantial block of cars. Now they will back into their cut of cars at Vernon

There is a track crew in Pontiac Yard picking up old railroad ties. Perhaps they will end up in L’Anse. Two regular gondolas and four wood chip gondolas. One of the wood chip gondolas has the word “RAIL” after the CN squiggle.

Also there is a boxcar at the Bolyard transload.
