OK, CN "WC Heritage" ET44AC #3069 was trailing train 382 northbound at Columbus, MI, 2:52 p.m. Spotted on "Heritage Units" by Steve K. Now, I did not catch this train (at work)! It had some cool engines!!!! Seven total! Reported "(3069) 3 of 7. 4 retired CSX GP40s and a GP30 slug." Now, is CSX retiring Slugs now? Are these going to "Scrap?" :?: How come no reports on this? :roll: :shock: :shock: :roll:

Update: Per Facebook® these ex CSX units have been sold to New Brunswick Southern® in Canada!

I find myself asking this question often. There's no way no one sees this stuff moving around :!:

There are three center beams in the Bolyard Pontiac lumber transload. It’s rare they get that many in one switch. Three center beams pretty much fills the entire spur. It also means CN made a run on the Beltline Spur on a day other than Wednesday which also doesn’t happen to often.
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...

Heads Up:

A new VIA Rail trainset is currently on the Union Pacific (SFLCH) headed to Chicago. UP 5275 solo leader. Cedar Rapids, IA at 06:00 EDT.

The last time it ran, http://railroadfan.com/phpbb/viewtopic. ... 42#p468742, 09/28, the symbol once on CN was P69891. In Battle Creek, they swapped the solo UP unit for a CN locomotive.
