TY Robert. I was working in the yard and didn't see it so I appreciate your report.

Southbound on Mt Clemens Sub approaching Mt Clemens

YES!!!! I was already at the tracks in Fraser after seeing a "Flashing Yellow" on the signals at C.P. Beck (never changed green)!

You are Welcome AARR! I was able to remember the lead engine (#3339) by the time I rode my bike to the new Fraser house! But, I checked Facebook® "CN GTW Mt Clemens Subdivision!" There already was a post by Brendan M. with pix of all three engines! Man, some guys get the posts up quick! I will just have to wait for these Medium Format film pictures to be developed/printed!
