11:51 - Westbound Herzog test truck on M2, passing MP 225. Evidently green means go, as without the gates, drivers had no problem scooting around the truck even when it was in the crossing... HRZ-202 and USDOT 371676 were the visible markings, not a CN logo to be seen. Neither ATCS or the signaling system seem to have a clue of his presence.

Quick update on the Dash 8's sitting in Battle Creek: CN is staging them there for time being. They have started sending them out, a couple at a time, to Council Bluffs, Iowa for scrapping. Not sure if CN takes them to Council Bluffs directly or they get interchanged with the UP. There should be some more units heading our way for Battle Creek in the coming weeks.
