WOW!!!!! More good "Heritage" locos on the Mount Clemens Sub. with no posts! Where is "Mount Clemens Railfan?" OK, I captured CN ('GTW Heritage') SD70M-2 #8952 on train 382 today leading on the Mount Clemens Sub. Thanx to "Flying Eagle" for the "Heads Up!!!!" I got this train at 15 Mile Road crossing, Clinton TWP. around 4 p.m. Way too fast and bad sun angle for good pix!!!!! Wow, not bad for two CN "Heritages" three times in one week!!!! Wednesday's 383 had ('WC Heritage') ET44AC #3069 leading too!!!! That was Aug. 30th and on "August 2023 CN Updates!!!!" < >

Sometime after Amtrak in Durand. CN Z149 with CN 2235 leading a M-2 met a CN mixed freight train that went into flint. I think this is M396. Power was CN/IC 2711 and CN 2268 with the mixed freight.
