Re: CN Updates- July 2019
Train 116 was SB past MP 22.5 at 6:42 am with CN 2030 leading 5760. A few mixed cars ahead of the containers and a cut of autoracks behind them.
Speaking of autoracks, I haven't seen a 280-type autorack train go by in weeks. And after having two, sometimes three a day for most of the summer.
Train 515 with 5456 again today was SB past MP 22.2 at 9:20 am.
And at 2:45 pm, NB 515 went past MP 22.5 on its way back to Pontiac Yard.
Utility company is bushwhacking the area along tracks out back so there will be more visibility for me. Workman says I am his only fan.
2678 leading 2425 and a BNSF unit NB on Main 2 passing MP 22.5 with Train 371 following Amtrak 350 into Pontiac.
Train 514 with 5844 and 5459 lite went SB past MP 22.5 at 5:30 pm.
