Re: CN Updates March 2021
L542 wb by 205 with 2 cn, 2 bnsf and 135 empty coal hoppers. Originally it was 275 but switched numbers in lansing. The crew is going dead at lacey. West of there it will probably be using 711 as the symbol. They were also talking about cutting the cn power off there.

Re: CN Updates March 2021
Saw it at Kelly crossing, Clinton TWP. There were workers there! Only one gate went down and no lights or sounds! One guy "Flagged" the crossing with a stop sign!!!!MtClemensRailFan wrote: ↑Sun Mar 21, 2021 3:10 pmA482 through Kronner Rd. @ 14:55. CN 2150, 5686, 3162, & 3245 with 131 cars.

Re: CN Updates March 2021
The single track main thru Charlotte is closed rn as track crews do work at both the junction of CN/Charlotte Southern and the switch leading into the old Owens-Illinois facility.

Re: CN Updates March 2021
Hey LansingRailfan. I am interested in the switch into the old Owen-Illinois facility. A while back there was talk about rail service returning to Charlotte, but don't remember the details. Can you provide some additional info?The single track main thru Charlotte is closed rn as track crews do work at both the junction of CN/Charlotte Southern and the switch leading into the old Owens-Illinois facility.
Also, what about the switch to the Charlotte Southern? Why are they doing work there unless its just regular maintenance?
Thanks.
