EB A492 dropped off IC 6250 (OLS unit) in Lansing yesterday. R934 is using it instead of EJE 663. They are currently at Biewer as of 11:30
LansingRailfan! Glad the
IC unit I missed leading
Q-122 on March 16th east has returned!
Now, I see on
"Heritage Units" that
EJE SD38-3 #663 went east last night!
It was posted (by Warren Michigan Railfan) at Durand, 12:14 a.m. 3-27! Where is
CN taking this unit?

A CN SD75I lite powered into Flat Rock yard at 12:49. Must be power for A384 or something…
Graham Halverson! I was at Flat Rock yesterday! There was a
CN job using a
CN SD75I heading north with
"Auto Racks" around 3 p.m. The previous week, Schaefer Yard had two of these sitting! Maybe that is the local power now!!!!! It would be nice with better engines on
"Hoop Track" through Allen Park! I, along with a
"Goofy Guy" ended up going to the south end of Flat Rock instead of seeing the
CN SD75I! By doing this, we caught
IORY heading southbound
Long Hood Forward with an ex
BNSF C44-9W in H2 orange!
What days does
IORY run to Flat Rock now?
Is it still just three days per week? I know it used to be Monday, Wednesday, Friday and sometimes Saturday! Heck, in the 1990s they were every day and multiple times!
L539 took RBEX 4910 ex-GTW 4910 to CN Kilgore Yard last night.
Tonight they’ll interchange it with the Grand Elk.

L515 (CN 5466) departed Mount Clemens at 11:00 with 30 cars - lots of loaded scrap gons.
L533 (CN 5752) working Mount Clemens at 12:00.
M383 (CN 3344/CN 3047) met L533 at Mount siding - 12:10.
CN is expanding its MoW base in Mount Clemens using the long dormant loading dock land on Mary Street. Some equipment that had been based in Pontiac will now call this home. CN police also utilize the Engineering Office as well.
