M385: CN 2430(F) CN 5650(R)

Sounds like a brush fire near the Sarnia Yard.

EDIT: 385 south had Track Authority 8045 to head south. Sounds like they're not stopping til at least Nolan.

393 has a unique CN boxcar 7 cars from the end of the train- someone applied a hand painted Northern Pacific logo.

502, IC 2722, is holding at Chrysler. CN 5632 will be pulling up behind him.
They're waiting for Amtrak to clear. According to the new schedule this will be 358.

391 is somewhere west of Milwaukee Jct.

There is a coal train out there too.

Amtrak 358 is approaching Vinewood.

I was wondering that too, after catching it yesterday and again today. Thanks, Lukas.

Why are they rerouting M301? Is this just temporary or a more permanent thing? Thanks.

David Lang

Rerouted due to work on the Bala sub which M301 usually takes. I don't really know how wide spread the work on that line is, so maybe someone across the border can help.
