Perhaps they'll pick up power in Detroit and run light back to Webberville?

Just looking through older photos...looks like the olympics were in 2010, and by 2011, CP had already repainted the loco...that didn't take long.

RN Dispatcher @ 17:07 was talking to someone regarding the Geometry Train being on the NS at Porter & presumed to be heading east onto the Grand Rapids sub-div. And there was some mention by the RN about crossings. Does anyone have any info about this? The radio call heard was low volume & scratchy.

L301-17 @ 17:13:33 eastward Bangor's W. Monroe St crossing cam mp CG60.72 with CSX engine #4384 & 10 cars.
