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