Full greens on Track 2 at Troy MI anyone know what this might be? I’d assume it’s either 271 or L513 running lite.

Re: CN Train Location Updates - May 2021
Quick update: Track one just changed to green going to Royal oak which I’ve never seen before with another clear signal. Odd since track one is supposed to be reserved for Amtrak going the other way.
Re: CN Train Location Updates - May 2021
515 and 513 are both south of Royal Oak. Both should be heading north in the next hour.
Doesn't look like 251 has made it to Pontiac yet.
Amtrak uses main 1, but right now 351 runs south at around 6AM and 352 runs north at around 8PM. So there's no concern in delaying Amtrak at this time. Signal should be for 514.

Got lucky and just witnessed 251/250 meet with L514 at Charring Cross waiting for L513 at Birmingham.

So right as I put my camera stuff away L513 snuck up on me with GTW 6225 and a TTX boxcar behind 250 thought dispatch would give him a green signal nope I was wrong. Oh well

Lots of empty bulkhead flats on the head end. Probably 251?

That’s a late E251 considering it’s been running around 3:30-5:30 thru Durand lately.Dan Cluley wrote: ↑Tue May 25, 2021 10:09 pmWestbound with CN 3090 3824 2625 2507 3144 through East Lansing at 22:09

Pontiac Yard is nearly empty. Most if not all stored cars are gone. Just a few strings of cars used in local revenue service. GP38-2 6225 is working the north end of Pontiac Yard.

Northbound mixed freight cruising through Pontiac Yard. Looks like it might stop. Modern EMD and GE leading.

Looks like the Pontiac Yard job might go down the beltline to service customers. Has a loaded center beam for the Bolyard lumber transload.
