CN Updates April 2020

[Manistique]

SB passing MP 22.5 with 2 GE's at 10:12 pm consisting of mixed freight with a very large amount jumbo covered hoppers, which is a bit odd for Holly Sub. trains. Maybe a late 402?

Train 251 was NB past MP 22.2 at 11:15 am with three CN's and a lot of headend cars for Pontiac, mostly loaded centerbeams.

Southbound 514 by Linden at 4:40pm with CN5781, 20 cars.

Different Power today. I can confirm this is 514 by listening to the conversation between dispatcher and train when he left Flint.

I photographed a southbound train with two CN ET44ACs, #3069/3048, 136 cars!!!! It cleared Masonic Road, Fraser, 5:22 p.m. Now, it seems like there are fewer trains with the "Virus Pandemic" and no auto traffic! This could have been train 385 without "Truck Chassis" and "Auto Racks!!!!"
