Re: CN Train Location Updates - March 2022
Yup, I am so glad my friend Roger had my 35mm camera (Canon® T-70™) in order to capture train 397 with the "Dead Cowls!!!!" The reason he had my camera was so he could photograph trains on his trip to the U.P. last August! He hauls cars and parts often! I've known him since 2001! Now he will take me to the U.P. departing next Friday (4-1)!!!! Question is now are there any "Active Cowls" on CN at all? Seems like most (if not all) left are in "Storage!" They've been replaced by the 75 new ex CREX units!
Did anyone here actually catch train 397 last Tuesday (3-22) with the "Dead Cowls?"
Here's a video of 397 heading west through Charlotte in the dark with two "Dead Cowls" and ex ATSF C40-8W (©Ng Fan):

WB 6-unit M397 is in Port Huron. Has 3 online units and then 3 retired and sold for scrap units: 2-2400 series locos and CN 2098.
Destined for some scrap yard on the UP outside of Chicago.
Power is: CN 8825/KCS 4012/BNSF 6281/CN 2423/CN 2098/CN 2443
RIP to 2098/2423/2443
EDIT: I actually have a guy (Roger) who has a 35mm camera of mine! He lives near Richmond and is going to Emmet now! Please catch M397 with these "Dead Cowls!!!!"
Does anyone know the "Exact" time 397 will leave Pt. Huron?

At mp223 East Lansing at 13:40. Not sure the delay it had as that's a 150 minute gap (or 2h+30m) from Durand appearanceLansingRailFan wrote: ↑Sun Mar 27, 2022 11:15 am11:10 - WB 3-unit M399 w CN 2332/CN 5629/CN 2567 thru Durand on M1

Through Charlotte about 1415. 734 axles. It's having mechanical issues. Desk 8 called them about sticking brakes about 130 axles back as it was going through town here. I know the conductor had to wake the train over by east Lansing somewhere.bluewonderrails wrote: ↑Sun Mar 27, 2022 1:42 pmAt mp223 East Lansing at 13:40.

Cn 5417/5335 working the auto dock. Wb m2 passing Cory. Just saw the tail end 1553
Re: CN Train Location Updates - March 2022
It was CSXT 716, DOTX 223 and DOTX 219. Later went south on the Shoreline Subdivision towards Toledo.Manistique wrote: ↑Thu Mar 24, 2022 9:25 amA northbound on the Holly just pasted MP 22.5 heading into Pontiac at 9:15 am. It had a CSX locomotive leading a two-car special train, one car being a passenger car of some sort. It looked like both cars had FRA logos on it and were painted red and white (and maybe blue).
