Two different CN subs cut across 8 Mile - you'll need to differentiate between the two if your purpose is a "heads up". I'm guessing this time you meant the MTC sub and train M385?

It was on the Holly Subdivision near Moterm. He posted on 251 and 116 right before that.

NB passing MP 22.5 at 9:21am with 8803 and 2205. Very mixed freight with only a couple autracks so doesn't look like an early 251.. Maybe this is X491?

Rolling past MP 22.5 at 3:03 pm. I don't recall seeing the 8000 and 8100 series locomotives on the Holly before. One of the headend cars was a loaded frame car, a very unusual sight on the Holly since the Pontiac Yellow Cab pickup plant was shut down in 2009.

8101 is one of (I believe) 4 SD70ACe's that CN rosters, 8100, 8101, 8102, and 8103 (not sure about 8103). These units are all Ex EMD Demonstrators.

CN 8100-8103. I remember seeing them on the Holly Subdivision in EMD demo paint. They were repainted in 2015. The 8000 series SD70M-2s have been around since they were delivered.
