Re: CN Location Updates December - 2023
1. There was no CP heritage unit. 2. The train left the auto racks on the main at Smith’s Creek 3. L533 or L534 came and got them and took them back to Port Huron 4. There is nothing to panic about or emoji over. 5. Merry Christmas Robert! Well OK, LansingRailfan ! Not "Panicking" too much! WOW!!!!...

Re: CN Location Updates December - 2023
LansingRailfan! Where did 385 set out the 30 "Auto Racks?" Did they drop them on the siding between 9 and 8 Mile? Maybe this was the additional train I heard yesterday! Was it local 533 heading north around 1:30 p.m. in Fraser? They don't usually go south of Mount Clemens! The unknown train was ahe...

OK, does the power for trains 507 / 508 alternate? Will CN " GTW Heritage Unit " SD70M-2 #8952 go south tomorrow, Thursday 12-21? :?: It makes sense to rotate power because each shift would travel one direction, Flint to Flat Rock and vice versa!

Re: CN Location Updates December - 2023
Thanks RobertTrains for the confirmation on Train 508. Looks like GTW 8952 needs a good washing - all heritage units in my opinion should be washed - be proud of your heritage - ware those GTW colors clean!
