I saw him on the wye in Woodhaven around 11:30 this morning as I was crossing at Allen Rd. Not sure where it originated but it was coming off the Dearborn line. I’m guessing they were shoving the train into Flat Rock Yard.

I think they usually go up the Shore sub. I used to live in Allen Park right where the Dearborn line crosses Pelham Rd. and I can’t recall ever seeing a coke train on that line. It’s typically Frame flat cars, auto racks and Boxcars for the Dearborn Stamping plant.AARR wrote: ↑Sat Oct 01, 2022 6:59 pmIt is coke but it is not from a ship. There is a company over there that makes coke and it is shuttled by CN to the Dearborn steel mill.
I am just guessing but it may be 30-40 cars a day.

CN 5483
CN 8014
A bunch of flats and a handful of other cars. Rather short train.

Re: CN Train Location Updates - October 2022
I have not seen a freight train on the Holly today and but for an hour this morning have been home or near the tracks. So looks like no 251 today.

Right now 280/450 BNSF 8360 is South on the Holly with 514/508 next.
Looks like a third train behind that. No idea what

What I presume was 508 and 251, based on prior posts, passed each other in Bloomfield Hills at 8:24 pm.
