Does 401 terminate in Pontiac? I don't think I've seen it reported beyond there before.

Yes it does not go north of Pontiac. It runs from Toledo Lang to Pontiac and then returns to Toledo Lang. 251 will usually pickup the cars from Lang in Pontiac.atrainguy60 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 25, 2021 10:21 amDoes 401 terminate in Pontiac? I don't think I've seen it reported beyond there before.
However, today they had a 100 car empty sand train in the manifest. Usually when they bring back empty sand cars they will run a X401 north out of Pontiac.

Re: CN Updates March 2021
It’s been a week and a half since I’ve been out but Snow Yard is very empty. Looks like the coal empties that were sitting in the yard were picked up by a C711 recently.
Did anyone see a C712?

Re: CN Updates March 2021
There was an empty coal train Sunday. Power came in as 275, left as L542 and went dead at lacy. The cn power was cut away in battle creek and it continued as 711. Last video I posted if you want to see it. I havent seen any coal moving sinceLansingRailFan wrote: ↑Fri Mar 26, 2021 3:43 pmIt’s been a week and a half since I’ve been out but Snow Yard is very empty.
