251 by the Fort St cam at 10:37 CN x3

Spotted crossing Eureka Road in Wyandotte at around 11:00. CN 8003, CN 2337 and CN 3858 led.

Per ATCS, it appears a northbound NS and a southbound NS will pass each other at CP Rodney around now.

10:19: Northbound (likely E251) led by CN 2713, CN 2517 (has the URL plastered onto the North America map!) and CN 5720 passing through Wyandotte right now, and was at Fort Street at 09:53.

11:56: Southbound coal train (L574?) led by CN 5931 crossing Fort Street.

Let's see if any of this becomes a reality in our lifetimes.

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. EDIT: It wasn't diverted, CPKC 02H passed the Uniroyal Tire in Allen Park at 22:46 and crossed Telegraph Road in Taylor ...

Tonight's 355 just left Pontiac, so it appears that track got repaired pretty fast. https://i.imgur.com/YuhjySZ.png According to this article more service will resume tomorrow. https://www.clickondetroit.com/news/local/2023/11/18/amtrak-to-operate-michigan-trains-at-full-schedule-this-sunday-after-d...

Actually the derailment occurred at the Wick Road crossing in Romulus. M51001 was the train involved.

14:44: 273 led by NS 8011 (2008 ES44AC), NS 1068 (2012 SD70ACe, Erie HU), and NS 3658 (2017 ET44AC) is currently stopped at Oak Street in Wyandotte awaiting permission to move north. I attempted to photograph 1068:

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. What it doesn't mention is whether it was an NS train or a CPKC train that struck the semi. https://www.thenewsherald.com/2023/07/21/train-slams-in...
