A little after midnight on 9/3/2023, I caught a westbound with 2499 leading and 3011 trailing, it was lined up into the Flint yard from ATCS monitor, it also had truck frames. That's gotta be A491 right? Here's a link to a stream I did last night, go to 1:18:30 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOqZfle ... estube8439

A491 had CN 3499/CN 3011

WOW!!!! LansingRailfan, an ex ATSF CN C40-8W leading? I thought they were all retired!!!! This must be one of few that were saved!
Did anyone here catch this train?

OK, LansingRailfan! What CN engine is #3499? Is this a new rebuilt one? I never saw this number!!!!

507 passed MP 22.5 around 5:30 pm.

508 just passed at 7:19 pm. In addition to the GTW heritage unit leading there was a long cut of new or just painted autoracks with a logo for CPKC, which I presume is CP and Kansas City Southern's new name? Not sure I saw the GP38 with the power, was looking at the blue unit leading!

[LansingRailFan]

20:00 - EB P276 with UP 6263, ex-SP, is in BC.

Also we have an E280 81 from Stevens Point, WI that went thru Griffith, IN already with a pair of CNs.

That cut of CPKC racks were on an E270 to Lansing, loaded at Cory Yard and picked up by L500 (IC 2711 leading) overnight.
