What may be 508 is flying by MP 22.5 at 6:54 pm. It looked like the first couple cars were double stacks in the darkness.

LansingRailfan, do you know what train this is? A guy posted on Facebook® (Bill Grooms)! Will this head all the way to Port Huon? Does anyone know? :?:
Update: Facebook® answered! This "Auto Rack" train is E270 which terminates in Lansing! :wink:


LansingRailfan, do you also have answers about that D.P.U. from Thanxgiving I asked? Below are the unanswered questions! You answered about the "Grinder!" :wink:

EB M356 was the second train. They peeled off the rear DPU in BC. By MP 205 at 16:20.
Did you see the train with D.P.U. Thursday, 11-24? Were the "Red Marker Lights" lit on the D.P.U.? What engine number was it?
