CN M399 3142 and a friend taking a clear at Trowbridge 10:45. There’s a cool Columbia Chemicals Co CCX 994 covered hopper, some brand new IMRX gons and an CN flat full of wheel sets along other interesting things.

There is not. I would check on facebook and do a search for FB groups for wherever you may be...Tampa, Orlando or elsewhere.

L507 at Royal Oak on 2.
R944 with CN 8952/CN 8859 at 02:37 shoving into Durand Yard from the Holly Sub. They came west from Flint and took the High Wye. HESR block on the tail end and then a block for GLC too.

two nights ago they picked up a large block of loaded hoppers from ZFS that that M396 with the NBSR 4/4 evidently picked up. I saw the block of hoppers on a video of that train in Ontario.

03:23 - R944 departs Durand Yard using the Port Huron Wye with 8952 leading 8859. The power set that has been on L508/7 has officially been spun.
