CCRRAAPP!!!!! I sure hope EJ&E 667 hasn't left out turf!!! Me and my bud Kyle (Wabash1070) were "REALLY" wanting to see this (he's never seen a EJ&E). But it'll be good if it's in Gary, IN cause I'm taking a trip there tomorrow through Sunday so there's a good chance I'll see Any EJ&E equipment there and if I'm VERY LUCKY (if theses are still running), I'll see a "Yellow" or "Green" EJ&E!!

Well, we at least now know that EJ&E 667 is still on the idk the Holly sub??? Anyway... Don't worry guys, today is the big day I'm going to Gary, IN and I heard that EJ&E 669 (former Battle Creek local engine) AND GTW 4632 are down there. If I don't see it but I see a CN worker, I can ask nicely to in the yard to find it, it's what I did on May 7th when CN 4916 (ex GTW) and EJ&E 656 were switching the yard and yes, I did see them, besides EJ&E 656, I think it's still working trains on the CN Flat Rock line.

Not sure of train symbol or even direction at first post but a CN train is blocking the crossings in Okemos and Haslett as an air hose popped and cars separated. This happened around 1, police say could be a couple more hours. I'll post any updates I can get. This was on the single track so don't be surprised to see trains holding at Lansing, shaftsburg, Vernon if anything is around.


Update, sounds like it's 397 and has a broken draw bar. Eastbound waiting for it to get moving again at Okemos.
