What appears to be 508 is going south through Linden at 8:18pm. 5 CN engines leading. IIRC the trailing units number was 5296, with the preceding two units appearing to be the same loco type. Two generic newer units were leading.

Southbound departing the yard in Durand at 2:35pm.

507 with 3101 is going through Durand at 7:13pm going to Flint. Very short train.

What I presume is 508 is currently rounding the High Wye in Durand to head south down the Holly Sub at 7:12pm. GTW heritage leading, generic CN trailing (didn’t take note of numbers). Lots of empty center beams today.

I know the wiki is really out of date, but I notice it says there is a CN interchange train between Flat Rock and Oakwood Yard (R975). If that or something similar is still running now, perhaps the plan is to have that train pick up blocks of intermodal at Oakwood, take them back to Flat Rock, then ...

Where in Gaylord is the transload site at?

Right by Millbocker Road where the site of a Georgia pacific plant was closed and demolished long ago.

Ahh ok, thanks!

Nothing in the twice-weekly newspaper yet. Some grading is going on adjacent to the Gaylord transload site .

CN 2302 and BCOL 4641 (CN paint) are switching the yard in Durand. Not sure which direction their train will be going once leaving town. It has left the yard and is preparing to depart town westbound. There is another westbound somewhere around Swartz Creek that’s also lined through on the other ma...

CN and NS are going to start interchanging intermodal at Detroit and Chicago. Included in this article is a map of the deal. https://www.railwayage.com/freight/class-i/cn-ns-announce-new-domestic-intermodal-service/ Also, UP has apparently trimmed a day from the transit time for the Falcon intermoda...

06:50 - FXE 4645 is 2/2 on an EB E295 thru Marcellus E29571 06 Edit: CN 8003 is the leader. FXE 4645 is rear DPU. LansingRailfan! Is E295 a train for the Holly Subdivision? :?: Or does this train go to Canada? Where is this train now (around 1:46 p.m.)? Cool FERROMEX® !!!!! :shock: :shock: :shock: ...

And here it is - option 1 won out. I was hoping for 3 or 5, but oh well.

CPKC and CSX are acquiring a G&W shortline (Meridian & Bigbee Railroad) between Meridian, MS and Montgomery, AL, splitting it at Myrtlewood, AL, to create a direct Southeast interchange point for the two railroads. https://www.trains.com/trn/news-reviews/news-wire/cpkc-and-csx-to-create-direct-inter...

I wonder if they would do a cam on the CN Holly Sub. More traffic than those sites. It would be neat to see a camera in downtown Holly, to see both CN and LSRC. Although I have no idea if there are any businesses there that would be willing to host a camera that has that view, so it might not be po...

Just a heads up - Steel Highway Railcams just uploaded a new live camera on the Grand Elk in Three Rivers. Not busiest line, but may be useful in regards to tracking movements for those who railfan the line. Looks like there was already a train recorded on the cam at 4:05pm. Also, I see in their "Li...

Westbound intermodal train led by CN 8908 and 5649 with 157 wells was going through Durand at 8;10pm.

WB Q137 31 - from Montreal to Prince Rupert, BC.

Where these empty wells or loaded wells?

Loaded wells. Probably 50/50 between double and single stacks.
