Re: CN Train Updates - June 2023
I bet from the looks of it that 5331 is still in its original paint, what's left of it. It has not passed MP 22.5 south of Pontiac yet.LansingRailFan wrote: ↑Tue Jun 06, 2023 7:36 pmL508 has CN 5331 leading if you’re into zebras if zebras are your thing if you like zebras neigh neigh do zebras neigh idk

Re: CN Train Updates - June 2023
I heard horns here in Pontiac maybe 5 minutes ago, couldn't tell what it was or if it were SB or NB, so might be on its way to you soon. I love zebras, so I should have run down to the tracks. Maybe next time.Manistique wrote: ↑Tue Jun 06, 2023 8:26 pmI bet from the looks of it that 5331 is still in its original paint, what's left of it.

Re: CN Train Updates - June 2023
I saw WB M301 passing Durand at 21:19 on M1. It had a clear signal just past the diamond, and was moving at a decent speed, but by the time the rear cleared Durand, it had noticeably slowed down. Now I know why!LansingRailFan wrote: ↑Tue Jun 06, 2023 9:39 pmWB M301 with CN 5705/BCOL 4647 is stopped on M1 in Bancroft due to a fire trackside

Ugh, of course CN 8952 is leading through Durand in the middle of the night. If I were crazier, I'd drive up there and camp out on one of the station's picnic benches.
