Re: CN Train Location Updates - April 2021
With GM shut down system wide for two weeks it should be a pretty quiet day today on CN.
Supposedly also at least one yard job each in Lansing and Flint and maybe other yards are also furloughed.
There’s been a noticeable dearth of auto racks this week on CN and it should get even tighter w this microchip shortage.

Sounds like an empty intermodal headed your way SB down the Holly. Seems too late to be L514
