CN L514 (Flint-Ferndale And Back Intermodal Turn) Has new Power instead of the Cursed 5421 and 5423, Now CN 5655 with a P5 Horn Leading NB and 5469 leading SB. 514 is running very late going south, 2 nights in a row he's been thru Opdyke (MP 22) 7-8 PM, in one case he met Amtrak at 19.7. Q189 is now officially a three times weekly stack train, as it's run three times two weeks in a row, on M1 right before Amtrak 352. 352 is allowed to gun it for 65-70 as they've said no restrictions whenever it departs troy...
