Cn 5616 & 2517 eb with a manifest by 205 at 1227. Some hazmat rolloffs on the tail end were kinda neat.
276? By 205 at 1242 with cn 3865, 2590, 5286 (zebra stripes), 5378
If my research is accurate that 5286 is a SD40-2W built in 1976. That thing is older than I am! If thats accurate its amazing to see something that old still out here earning its keep although I'd suspect it won't be around much longer.

That four unit is thru Amtrak East Lansing at 1:15. Seems to be slowing so it might be meeting a WB at Okemos.
I know 397 w CN3100 is close and SUPPOSEDLY the EJE heritage unit was put on A491 this morning and it left PH at 12:30.

I’m at Trowbridge and just saw CN 3816. It seems to have a special emblem on the side. Anyone know what it is? Thanks!

It’s CN’s outreach to aboriginal communities throughout its network celebrating their ties to them. That order of 200 GE units has it.
