Well maybe we will start getting these
ex Citi Rail ES44ACs leading trains in the U.S. more often! COOL!!!! Also, hopefully they won't all be painted in
CN paint!!!! We know there are way too many
"Widecabs!" Same with all
Class One railroads! Yet we know these are the replacements for the
Dash 8/Cowls!!!!

W968 is between Scotland and CP Max with GTW 5934 and a CCP Jordan Spreader. MOW is using it to dig out ditches on the South Bend and soon, Flint and Holly Subdivisions.
Not my pic.
Did this
"Ditch Digger Train" disappear?
I thought it was coming to MI! I know it is slow, but didn't realize this slow!!!!!
LansingRailfan, do you (or anyone here) know where this train is working now (Aug. 26)?
Must be coming very slow! When is it expected in Royal Oak or Port Huron? I want to catch this train with the
CCP "Jordan Spreader" and
CN painted
GTW SD40-2 #5934!!!! Unknown picture supplied by LansingRailfan August 17:

Last night around 12:35 A.M. (8/26/2023) I caught an Eastbound with 8904 and 2722 in Lapeer. It had intermodals at the front and atuoracks at the back. Does anyone know if it was an extra Q122 or Z148? It seemed way to early to be a regular run.

Is 8952 going to make its way back to the south bend sub later this month or next month?

Saw this EB past the Durand camera a little earlier. I can't confirm but I'd guess it was a Z148 since no other EB intermodal/rack train came by Durand on Saturday until the Q122 mentioned in other posts.
