In Port Huron now, SB M383 has CN 3008, IC heritage unit, leading. FYI.

I saw 383 from work crossing the I-696 bridge, Warren! My first time seeing it! Now, it had an ex CREX unit trailing, 125 cars!!!! These same locomotives should come back tomorrow (8-18) on train 382, right? These ex CREX units don't ever seem to lead trains! Are they P.T.C. equipped? If not, they may "Wye" the power in Toledo! It would
be cool seeing CN "Illinois Central Heritage" ET44AC #3008 leading heading north on the Mount Clemens Sub. Thursday! How likely?

OK, I got northbound train 382 today, 8-18!!!! I left work for a little bit, then bike rode back! First I saw local 533 head south with a CN SD40-2W and probably 8 cars! Did not get a picture of that one! Came around 11 a.m. A little while later I photographed 382!!!! had CN "Illinois Central Heritage" ET44AC #3008 leading, ex CREX ES44AC #3920, 59 cars! It cleared Masonic Road, Fraser, 11:40 a.m.
