CN Train Updates - December 2016

[Evan]

M399 had CN 2624-BCOL4626 into Battle Creek this morning.

Pontiac Yard, both day jobs were out and about. There's a long string of covered hoppers and tank cars probably for Polyterm whenever the customer needs them.

GTW 4925 is switching autoracks at GM Flint Assembly

I didn't realize a new December thread for CN was created when I posted earlier today that Train 451 has 5936 as its third unit, in case you Holly, Durand and Flint fans missed my post. It left Pontiac a little while ago (see older CN thread for time).

I missed the new thread as well.
Here is my post on 451 going north.

What I believe to be 451 just passed the detector at MP 34.2 northbound at 2:37 PM.

They called the dispatcher this is indeed 451.

Train 515 was crossing Woodward Ave on the south side of Pontiac at 7 pm. It had 4916 today.

Train 391 just passed NB past MP 22.5 with a single locomotive.

[Evan]

5936 was set out at Pontiac.
M391 is working Pontiac and should be getting ready to head north soon.
CN 2257 solo.

What I presume is Train 502 is rolling SB past MP 22.5 on the Holly now at 9:10 pm. A BC Rail unit was leading.

I caught at least a part of the mark up for 391, Sounds like just 1 engine I missed the number and 24 cars. They were set to head north at 9:45 PM.

Well? 391 was to depart Pontiac at 9:45 PM, However they cleared the detector MP 34.2 at 10:23 PM.

I missed the lead power but got a line south on the Mt. Clem's sub passing thru the Junction and had CN 2120 in the middle, first time seeing power in the middle of a line in person.

CN 2213 northbound by the detector MP 34.2 at 1:05 PM. 368 axels. This should be train 451.

451 going through Linden now. My dad sent me a video of it in Fenton, it has two CNs leading, first of which I'm sure is 2113.

533 CN 2244 is turning its power at the Junction before proceeding to Moterm.

This is one of the 15th anniversary units, right?

Whoops sorry I misread kc8bdr's post. That would be 2213 leading according to his post. Definitely wasn't a 15th anniversary unit, but rather a couple of average typical CN engines.

Per Facebook, the power for the CN Santa Train will be GTW GP38-2 #4915 (CN Paint) and IC GP40 #9625, train is sitting in Flint, 4915 leading.

I did see 502 last night while out running around, was to far back from the crossing to get number, but it did have a BC rail unit leading.
