Re: CN Train Location Updates - October 2023
Passed MP 22.5 at 2 pm. Both locomotives are pretty early ones of that model and are in need of a paint job. I am guessing they are in their original paint. I recall seeing the first 5600's I think in 1995 at Komoka, Ontario when they were brand new.
And just after 251 cleared out back, 116 is rolling by on Main 2. I wonder if 251 is delaying Amtrak 350 on Main 1 as this is when it usually passes.

At 2:15 Amtrak 350 went past MP 22.5 on the Holly with a Charger at each end and three Horizon coaches and two Amfleet cafe/business cars.
At 2:30 NB 515 with 5423 went past MP 22.5.
That is it on the South Holly now until tonight's parade of local trains and Amtrak 352.

Re: CN Train Location Updates - October 2023
This is cool!!!! I have never seen this CSX "Operation Lifesaver®" SD70M!!!!! When did this train get to Port Huron? Or is it still working its way east? Where is CSX 4568 going? Per "Heritage Units" (MichiganRFproductionsYT) it was "stopping in the yard" at 3:58 p.m.bluewonderrails wrote: ↑Mon Oct 30, 2023 2:13 pmX396 east clear Trowbridge at 14:12.

Re: CN Train Location Updates - October 2023
Do you happen to know what was before that eastbound? It had 2 CNs at the front and a mid DPU. Had a bunch of grain hoppers, many were potash. Also had a good amount of tankers as well.

Re: CN Train Location Updates - October 2023
Had 2 CN trains go through Durand within 20 minutes. First one was an eastbound manifest with a lot of grain hoppers a handful of them were Potash. Lot of tankers too. Train also had a mid dpu and it is not stopping to work Flint (if that helps). Anyone know the symbol?
Next train was M396 with 2 CNs leading.
