Went past MP 22.5 at around 12:40 pm.

NB 515 passed MP 22.5 on its way back to Pontiac Yard at 2:55 pm, following an on-time Amtrak 350.

That quartet of 8800's and train 116 just passed MP 22.5 at 3:18 pm with all autoracks, probably leaving their doublestacks in Pontiac for 508 later today. This is a better arrangement than it replaced but typical railroad operations logic in that 116 will be rolling through Moterm in about ten minutes yet its doublestacks are sitting 15 miles away waiting to be delivered later.

Timely Ghostbusters art on one of the autos for Halloween. I'd watched both movies over the weekend, too.

11:00 - EB M396 at the dd at MP 109 of the South Bend Sub w CN 3301/CN 3300 brand spanking new. These are the first two new dash 9 C6M rebuilds from Wabtec.

COOL!!!! This will take a few hours to get to Port Huron! What time would this be expected? Would it come before dark? I have a friend (Roger) with a 35mm film camera of mine who lives in Casco! I could send him to photograph this for me!!!!

Train should be arriving in BC shortly.

WB L501 this morning had CN 8008/CN 5685/GTW 4306 f/r/r. Durand at 06:09 this morning.

Well, train 396 was later than I wanted Saturday; it was dark! OK LansingRailFan, there is no GTW 4306!!!! Did you mean "GTW 4906" which is a GP38-2? That one was in Torrey ('Bristol') Yard recently!!!!!

JT, this is what I wanted to catch!!!! What time did you see it and and where? Also, do we know what numbers these engines were when they were CN C44-9Ws? Well, I may have used one of my three S-VHS camcorders!!!! One Panasonic® AG455™ is working good while the other two (including a Panasonic® AG456™) need some maintenance! I have lots of other S-VHS and VHS parts camcorders too! Most likely I would have photographed these with 35mm and/or 120 film cameras! Yes I like stuff "Old School!!!!"
