Re: CN Updates February 2021
Anyone got eyes on this move?
RE: Grain train that GLC left in Durand for CN
The 2-unit WB light power move seen this morning was 2/3rds of what an E275 was from Canada that ended in Flint. The third unit was cut in Flint.
That unit, combined w the 2 units for L501, will pick up the grain train tonight and take it to BC.
Continuing from Battle Creek onward, the train will run as G846 to Mobile, Alabama.

There’s a Q120 in the system. Basically a Q148 but going to Halifax and not Toronto. OD now in Battle Creek and should be leaving soon.

Cn 2700 & ic 2466 elephant style wb with a stack train. Pretty short one too, I'd say under a mile. 10mph slow order at either 202.4 or 204. Couldn't quite make it out.

Re: CN Updates February 2021
OK, glad to see these "Cowls" going! KC8RBK, was the Zebra" yesterday a "Cowl?" I am actually going to Port Huron tomorrow, 2-27 with great friend "Mazon!" My goal is to catch "Cowls!!!!" What was the power on southbound A483 today? Maybe tomorrow I could catch the same power on northbound A482! COWLS?

Re: CN Updates February 2021
I do believe that one last night was a cowl as well although it came by in the dark. The stripes were easy to see on the camera.Robertrains wrote: ↑Fri Feb 26, 2021 5:44 pmOK, glad to see these "Cowls" going! KC8RBK, was the Zebra" yesterday a "Cowl?"
