That eight loco NB was E251. They ended up working in Pontiac as well.
Sunday’s E251 w CN 2940/CN 3948/BNSF 3943/BNSF 7344/CN 5775/CN 2301/CN 3935/CN 3036
3948 and 3935 are ex-CitiRail
WB X301 w CN 2331 picked up CN 2940/CN 3948 ex-CitiRail/CN 3935 ex-CitiRail/CN 3036 and still had mid-DPU CN 2312 and the braking car at the end of the train.LansingRailFan wrote: ↑Mon Jan 30, 2023 1:00 pm13:00 - WB X301 w CN 2331 solo up front and CN 2312 mid-DPU, ff rolling thru MSU now.
The two BNSF units from that E251 will lead an E271 out of BC tonight.
CN 5775/CN 2301 were set off of E251 in BC annd then went to Flint on A492 before being picked up by L507 tonight.

Re: CN Train Location Updates - January 2023
It should be a GTW SD40-2 and not "CN!" There is no CN 5902 and the eight ex UP engines are numbered 5930─5937! GTW got these in 1990! The old SD40s in the "5900 Series" are long retired!LansingRailFan wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 12:34 pmRack train: EB E280 w BNSF 5871 solo to flat rock

So it was indeed 5902? Don't take my report verbatim as the road number was pulled from a poorly lit night shot again.Robertrains wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 1:41 pmIt should be a GTW SD40-2...The old SD40s in the "5900 Series" are long retired!

Re: CN Train Location Updates - January 2023
Nope, not "5902!" It has to be GTW engine numbers between "5930─5937!" Not so literally, I know! Of these, only 5936 is still GTW "Blue!" Most are in the early 1990s CN North America paint! Yes, poorly lit night grab shots can cause mistakes!!!!!amessmann wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 3:11 pmSo it was indeed 5902?
