Re: NS and CP Train Location Updates 2023

WB CPKC 02H, 2023 Holiday Train, clear Townline at 21:25 Townline is a location that's not on the Detroit District, which probably means this year's train may have been diverted.

Train vs. truck on Wabash in Taylor

The article mentions the incident as occurring on Beech-Daly between Ecorse and Champaign, and that is exactly where the Wabash Line crosses Beech-Daly.
