A483 through Kronner Rd. @ 18:14. CN 5687, 2327, & 2172 with 125 cars.
This probably was train A485 (old 385)! Earlier, per Heritagunits.com, train A483 (reported also as 383 (its old number)) had BCOL "Cowl" C40-8M #4611 trailing third!!!! The power from that train will likely come back tomorrow morning!!!! I hope to catch it!!!! :wink:

OK, if yesterday's first "A483" was supposed to be "Friday's," what does that mean for today's northbound train 482 (old 382)? Will there be two northbound ones? What happened to A485? Anyway, hope to catch BCOL "Cowl" C40-8M #4611 this morning!!!! Does anyone know if this unit will come back up the Mt. Clemens Subdivision? :?:

119 is probably the one at 126 I marked as 189. For whatever reason 118/119 almost always have ge power at either end. Being that it was all over seas traffic I had a good idea thats where it came from I just wasn't sure what symbol they were using.
