OK, does the power for trains 507 / 508 alternate? Will CN " GTW Heritage Unit " SD70M-2 #8952 go south tomorrow, Thursday 12-21? :?: It makes sense to rotate power because each shift would travel one direction, Flint to Flat Rock and vice versa! Right? Where do trains 507 / 508 pass usually? Well,...

508 south by Waterford at 7:25 with 8943 and 8005 up front with no stacks and a loooong manifest cut up front. Not sure if it’s working Pontiac.

Thanks RobertTrains for the confirmation on Train 508. Looks like GTW 8952 needs a good washing - all heritage units in my opinion should be washed - be proud of your heritage - ware those GTW colors clean! (Yeah right, the RR could care less about clean locomotives). I remember when railcars were ...

Amtrak 350 went past MP 22.1 about ten minutes early today, around 1:55 pm, with a Charger on both ends. 251 just passed MP 22.5 at 2:35 pm. OK, I went to Ferndale, Cambourne Road, and saw train 251 but missed Amtrak® 350 ! The train had 103 cars with two CN engines (didn't get numbers) which were ...

Well, are any of the ADBF GP9s still in service? How many? How many are for sale? :?: Does Jail have a couple GP9 s working too? I suppose they'd keep some on both these lines for MOW track work and back-up power, right? :?: :?: I like the old paint better than the new!!!! :shock: :shock:
