A485 has CN 3115 (BCOL HU) leading. Departed Port Huron 15 min ago.
By Mount Clemens depot at 16:45. I'm down at my home on the C&O New River sub at Hawks Nest, WV, but saw it on the Mount Clemens depot web cam...

Shucks, I just missed CN "BCRail Heritage" 3115! I live less than two miles from the tracks! Missed it by about 20 minutes! Does anyone know what train this will be on tomorrow? Is this power likely to on train A484? Hopefully it will lead!!!! :evil:
Robert, it'll likely be on 484 or 251 tomorrow. Whether it leads depends on which unit(s) they spin. You'll probably hear tomorrow morning if it is on 251 leaving Flat Rock.

If it returns to Sarnia on M384 (there is no 484 at the moment), it will likely traverse the MTC sub in total darkness.

Man, CN "BCRail Heritage" 3115 was spotted on the "Fort Street" Trenton Webcam heading east at 9:10 p.m. last night! It was running light "Long Hood Forward!" "Heritage Units" wrongly reports it heading west! Where was it headed? East Yard maybe? Looks like it won't be on M384 as it left Flat Rock! I'd like to catch it today!!!! :!: Please help!!!! :!: :shock: :!:

I saw the post on Facebook® that Jonathon Riddel stated "Not sure If it will come back north on a 782 or if it will be on m382 or A482!"
Now, I thought M382 was now "A482!" That's why I mention "M482" above!!!! Does anyone know what will happen? It would be nice if it leads north on the Mt. Clemens Sub.

Northbound by the detector at 56.2 (just North of Linden) at 6:05pm with 602 axles. Assume this is 251 with a nice size train - maybe 145 or so cars.
