Couldn't find the one at 22:08 but there was a solo unit CN with racks and some mixed freight at 22:12 by your cam. Looks to be L501 that was working in Cory when we were chatting.

8:06 - WB 3-unit CN paints with mixed freight by the 205 cam - a 396 judging by the cars - also there must be slow orders around 202-203 because it is noticeable how trains are slowing down as they go west. I know MOW crews have been working out in this area doing some crossing rebuilds especially on the rural/private crossings.
