Well, another Southbound Intermodal Train by Linden at 3:08pm. Didn't catch the car count on this one either.
Not sure if this one is 514 or the other one I reported at 1:37pm.

Re: CN Updates September 2020
Just heard a WB lined West out of West Flint per the dispatcher.
Also, is the 276 symbol for Flint or is this a Holy Sub symbol? My thinking is for Flint, but not positive. I know we get a 280 from time to time but not sure if all our empty autorack trains are 280s or not.
Thanks.

Re: CN Updates September 2020
Ah ha! Thank you GTW Chris.
Yeah, I need to learn those new control points.
I will report 251 by me in Linden when he goes by.

Re: CN Updates September 2020
Northbound 251 (or 451?) by Linden at 5:15pm with CN 3072, CN ????, Orange EJE unit, 103 cars. 1-54 were general freight, 55-103 were autoracks.
I thought 251 is usually solid autoracks and 451 is a mix of racks and general freight. This train looked more like 451 than 251. Its the right time of day for 451 also. Anybody know for sure? Thanks.

251 replaced 451 as a symbol. There is still a 450.
