Re: CN Train Location Updates - April 2021
Have heard from a couple people at CN that with the two Lansing GM plants shut down as well as other auto plants, they are seeing a big hit in train size, overall traffic and job hours.
For example, the Lansing local only had to work Biewer lumber and JAIL interchange today.
Snow Yard is totally full of empty racks so the coal train for LBWL was stored with BNSF power still on it in Cory Yard.
They kept the BNSF power on the train because they had nothing to send back with the engines. Usually they would send back loaded racks.

Re: CN Train Location Updates - April 2021
This question has probably been asked before, but does GM Lansing Grand River ship finished cars out by rail? I've looked at googlemaps, I see what appear to be autorack tracks, but it doesn't look like they've been used in a long time. If I had to guess, they drive finished cars to GM Lansing Delta to be loaded?

Right now all their finished cars are sitting without microchips here:

Pontiac Yard job GP38-2 6225 is pushing box car, center beam and gondola towards scrap yard on Polyann segment. Box car is load from GM Stamping. Center beam is from Bolyard transload (where they spotted another load) and gondola will be exchanged for loads at scrap metal yard.
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...
