:shock: OK, "GTW Heritage" #8952 is back on train 508/507!!!! Well, today (December 29th) I will go to Pontiac, but likely too early to see these engines! I will be here in the early afternoon and only a couple hours! Train 507 was posted yesterday on "Heritage Units" (by Cn railfanner) at 5:30 p.m. northbound at Pontiac, trailing second!!!! What time likely will 508 come south today? :?: Seems this will be nighttime! :shock: 😁 😁 πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜‰ 🀯 🀯 😳 😳 😱 😱 😲 😲 πŸ‘ πŸ‘ πŸ€ͺ πŸ€ͺ 😜 😜 πŸ˜ƒ πŸ˜ƒ πŸ˜† πŸ˜† 😊 😊 🀯 🀯 :shock: :shock:

508 usually comes through from 8-10. If it’s on time that is.

There’s a baretable stopped over Fort Street in Trenton, with a CN GEVO long hood foward leading. Any idea what this is?
Crazy! CN 2698 LHF started crossing at about 16:09. It made a few moves pulling further north, starting and stopping again along the way, but hasn't moved since 17:02, and it's still blocked at 17:44! Would take too long to count but it appears quite long. Wonder if it jumped a switch along the way. Seems like blocking Fort Street for over 90min would take priority to get it moving, so must be an equipment related issue somewhere along the line.

IC 2698 in CN paint is L506. The engine is out of water.

M385 has been at Ecorse since 15:30 waiting.

L573 with IC 3101 is tying their train down and jumping in CN 5708 to rescue L573 and that engine will lead L506 to Toledo. It looks like they are sending some empty bare tables to Toledo
Baretables are always empty...... :-)

The three units out of the five I’m suspecting came off of S756.

Squinting at the 480p video, it looks like the following:
CN 3829
CN 3826
CN 3118 (or 3116? as that ET44AC needs a wash)
CN 3021
CN 3956 (ex-CREX)
