Yesterday a friend of mine saw a CN train going northbound with empty intermodal cars and 2 passenger cars at the end on the CN Shoreline sub (which I believe I saw in Toledo early in the day as I was heading down to Ohio to railfan for the day) does anyone know what symbol that is and what exactly they were doing with the intermodal and passenger railcars?

I saw them too. They ran the baretable cars west to *maybe* Chicago, which were in storage in Lang yard in Toledo. The passenger cars are owned by Charter Steel, were dopped in Pontiac, and went south on Amtrak 355 yesterday.

Intermodal stayed in Pontiac. X507. Just had to kick the rust off the cars
