Drove by Pontiac Yard this evening, almost seems like CN is storing a ton of steel coil cars there. The empty well cars are still there too.

Re: CN Train Location Updates - May 2023
Saw an autorack train EB headed onto M1 on the MP 205 cam at 18:46
I could be wrong, due to the camera looking into the sun, but it looked like an IC Dash-9 leading, CN 2721, followed by CN 2612, CN 2812, and fourth in line is IC GP38-2 as CN 9567
edit: I forgot heads-up on M356 earlier, so corrected the number on CN 2612

What I presume (from the time) was 508 just went past MP 22.5 at 7:35 pm. The third unit was a GP38 or 40. No containers. Short train. Lots of tanks.
Re: CN Train Location Updates - May 2023
508 has CN 2252, 5673 and GTW 5855. They have one intermodal car on the head end.

116 passing MP 22.5 on the Holly at 2:38 pm with two 8900's. Mostly double stacks today (maybe because of the 356 last night?).
