Re: CN Train Location Updates - February 2022
There was an X383 last night with CN 2864/GECX 2038.
Canadian yards are still behind on switching and now so is Kirk so they are running some trains down to Flat Rock or Toledo for switching and classifying. E251 has tonnage/space since there is a dearth of loaded racks out of Flat Rock right now.

Re: CN Train Location Updates - February 2022
B731 had arrived to Potterville near mp208.3 to stop roughly 20-25 minutes ago as of this post. Waiting for A492 which seemed to had been slowed up. He's finally lined beyond Potterville now but yet at Walton mp197.0. Meantime, B731 is blocking at least 2 crossings, one of them is a 4-way intersection which isn't overly busy but still has traffic, half of which dirt road. The other crossing being blocked is a dirt road and mainly just residential movements there.

Looks like they dropped a bunch of racks and picked up some cars in Flint.

Re: CN Train Location Updates - February 2022
OK, saw a post (BenLobur/Flying Eagle TV) that train A485 has good power today, running early! Does anyone know where it is now (4:38 p.m.)? I am sure it passed! Here's the post I saw: "Up 5081, bnsf 6727, cn 2590 with 144 cars on the A485."
Also, I have noticed so many IC "Deathstars" posted recently! I have not captured them leading for a while! Does anyone expect trains on the Holly Sub. to have them tomorrow afternoon through Royal Oak? I will be out for a short while!!!!!

Re: CN Train Location Updates - February 2022
None have been on A450 (which is E251’s) counterpart in the past few days to a week. They’re going to be sending more this way soon, apparently power managers like using these on 251, so don’t expect them to be going away anytime soon, and that’s a good thing .Robertrains wrote: ↑Fri Feb 25, 2022 4:38 pmOK, saw a post (BenLobur/Flying Eagle TV) that train A485 has good power today, running early!
