Re: CN Train Location Updates - April 2024
You are Welcome AARR! I was able to remember the lead engine (#3339) by the time I rode my bike to the new Fraser house! But, I checked Facebook® "CN GTW Mt Clemens Subdivision!" There already was a post by Brendan M. with pix of all three engines! Man, some guys get the posts up quick! I will just have to wait for these Medium Format film pictures to be developed/printed!AARR wrote: ↑Sun Apr 07, 2024 11:44 amTY Robert.

I was already at the tracks in Fraser after seeing a "Flashing Yellow" on the signals at C.P. Beck (never changed green)!

What I assume is a Southbound L508 coming through Royal Oak, heard its horn and sounded like a GEVO. Passed here around 6:40
