274 eh?

I haven't heard that train number in many years. 276 and 280 all the time, but not 274.

Is this an old number being revived?

Thanks.

David Lang
No. It runs all the time.

:shock: :shock: Alright, M396 has those "Heritage Units" on the train! :!: :!: I was not able to make this! Does anyone know what time it came through Port Huron? :?:
Here's a video of this train near Charlotte (©Jason McLaughlin): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mz-pv671MlU

EDIT: I see on "HU" that M396 was seen in Imlay City at 5:59 p.m. Probably around Pt. Huron now and too dark anyway!!!!

399 is on the move west following l520 with that up unit solo. The cn pair is making a set off from m1 it seems. Im not super familiar with operations down here.
