How come no one here saw southbound train A483? Man I did not know about this one! Per "Heritageunits," by S.E.MI.Hemi, it had "CN 5791, IC 2458 2nd, IC 2466 3rd!" This was seen at 6:47 p.m. in Macomb! Now, will these "Blue" IC C40-8W engines likely lead A482 north tomorrow? If so, what time is that likely in Warren?
:shock: MAN TWO BLUE IC ENGINES!!!! :shock:

Q121 by 203 at 10:00 - 3874/dpu 3089 - q121 is halifax->moncton->montreal but had a ton of chicago containers as well as a large set off for 514 in flint.

it sounds like with the halifax container terminal up and running there will be an increase in intermodal trains with potentially some new symbols down the road.

Southbound 514 by Linden at 4:28pm with around 100 cars!! (Didn't get an exact count). This is longer than usual and looks like Lansing RailFan was correct regarding those Chicago Containers being set off from Q121.

An increase in Intermodal trains would be nice to see. Q121 certainly is a new symbol I haven't heard of before. It will be interesting to keep track of what is to come, although correct me if I'm wrong guys (Lansing RailFan, KB8RBK, Dan, GTW6401, others) it seems like I have read recent CN posts that some days there are more intermodal trains on the Flint sub than just the typical daily 148 and 149 right???? (There is the occasional extra out of Moterm here on the Holly Sub too). Anyway, let's keep a tab and it and keep those reports coming! Thank you.
