OK Delray, what are the six CN locomotives? Do you have numbers for all of them? Anything unusual, or just regular? Well, seeing lots of engines is always nice!!!! Now, I could make it to Birmingham area around 1 p.m. Do you think 251 would have passed by then?

Here are two pix of a GTW train heading north at Royal Oak, MI, January 1993! I was nine years here! All were "GTW Blue" except CSS 2005 (Canon 35mm S.L.R.):

Delray, I totally missed train E251 with the 6ix engines, but would have been cool to see! I love the GTW train in Royal Oak in 1993 with twelve locomotives leading! I (RLJ II), age 9, took! Now, a "Goofy" guy took me to Pontiac hoping to catch 251! Nope, just got Amtrak® 350 arriving in Pontiac and northbound train 515 with CN SD60 #5466 and 18(?) cars after 3:15 p.m.

116 rolling past MP 225 at 3:47 pm. 8000 leading 8884. A few racks then stacks.

Manistique, lastly at Pontiac we waited west of the station ('Green' Light for southbound)! Then caught 116 with these two CN SD70M-2s and 70ish cars!!!!

This morning's SB 515 had 5466 and a good sized train. Boxcars, a couple tanks, a string of what looked like empty company gondolas (for tie loading?) and about a dozen loaded centerbeams. Passing MP 22.5 around 7:40 this morning.

Might have gone past MP 22.5 at 11:00 am. I was in basement and just heard a train, didn't see it. Seems too early for NB 515.
