CN Train Location Updates - October 2023

251 by the Fort St cam at 10:27 CN x2

Very long train today

Passing MP 22.5 at 2:27 pm. Has been for fifteen minutes! Raining here and it is working hard up the Hill. Routed on Main 2 and Amtrak 350 passed it on Main 1 out back at 2:15 pm.

And just after 251 cleared a SB went flying past MP 22.5 that was either very short or just power. I missed it.

And at 2:40 to add to the excitement on the double tracked Holly Sub this afternoon, NB 515 is rolling past MP 22.5 on its way back to Pontiac Yard a bit slow what with being on 251's block. Four trains in 25 minutes.

CN L51591, Homewood to Kirk Yard, had IC 1001/CN 4775/CN 102 (E9AU) today. CN 102 has been sold or donated along with CN 103.

A move to Kirk and we should most likely see CN 102 on tomorrows M394

A SB rack train with one CN just passed MP 22.5. Didn't see if it had any containers on it. Short train. Maybe 116?
