5/18 - CN 3015 (veterans HU) and mid-DPU CN 3935 ex-citirail lead the A450? train to Sault Saint Marie, ON. David Kaye on facebook had some great shots. I assume that job turns and heads back west today?

CN 2278 is on the move now across Millet Hwy in Lansing.

The crew picked up BNSF 6183/BNSF 6302 from Tuesday’s C712. They won’t have a C711 empty for a couple of days so they gotta get those units moving.

In BC, an EB train with CN 3219 leading was told to associate with its train and could get underway as soon as signal indication was given.
