CN Updates for September 2015
Heads up guys NS 1074 is on CN tracks on its way to Flat Rock. Flint Sub Railfans keep a close eye and ear on it. I believe the last Heritage Unit to run on the Flint Sub was NS 1073 back in I believe February

348, CN 2927, is dropping cars at Moterm
Re: CN Updates for September 2015
Its on M384 to Flat Rock, which will return to Bellevue, Ohio on CN 385/NS 184. The CN locos haven't been going to Bellevue on NS 184 anymore, with the engines off 385 heading toward Battle Creek on 451 most days now.Wabash1070 wrote:Heads up guys NS 1074 is on CN tracks on its way to Flat Rock.

It will be nowhere near the Flint Subdivision, but the 1074 did run on the Flint Subdivision back in April 2014 on L502.

Re: CN Updates for September 2015
385 met a northbound autorack train at East Yard with CN 2336, which was then delayed by the fire on Bunert Road. They were stopped at Frazho Road for about an hour.Robertrains wrote:I photographed southbound train 385 in Fraser at 5:57 p.m. It had CN SD70M-2 #8014 and ES44DC #2285 with 124 cars!!!!

Where would this locomotive head? I'd love to photograph it! The Bessemer® "Tunnel Motors" are in the 900 series (not BLE 810)! I have been wanting to see a Bessemer® engine for a while!!!!

Re: CN Updates for September 2015
At the MTM station today—I photographed the local with blue GTW GP9R #4623! It brought 2 cars to Phoenix Stone® and took 2 boxcars it had—back north to Pt. Huron! This was around 2:40 p.m. Later (3:30 p.m.ish), train 385 headed south! It had CN ES44DC #2224 and CN SD70M-2 #8914 with 132 cars! Lastly, train 533 went south at 4:02 p.m. It had CN C44-9W #2632 and 4 loaded "Well Car" sets!!!!

Re: CN Updates for September 2015
533 is following 385 south today, and has the 2632 again. Short count is something like 8 x 0. 385 may have 2925 or 2955 leading.Robertrains wrote:train 533 went south at 4:02 p.m. It had CN C44-9W #2632 and 4 loaded "Well Car" sets!!!![/color]
