CP Holiday Train should be wrapping up soon over at Windsor Yard in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Not sure how long they will get thru U.S. Customs Check and NS Oakwood Yard stoppage. Might stop briefly behind the Thunderbowl and finally onwards to Chicago via Wabash & Lakeshore Lines.

I would guess between 9-10 based on an OS at OJ around 8:30-8:45

Clear NS Oakwood Yard (Allen Park). Huge crowd behind Thunderbowl. Enroute to Chicago on Wabash. Clearing Taylor, Romulus, Belleville, Rawsonville, Willis, & Milan. All points SW MI to Butler.
