There's another WB lined out of Flint Yard and will take M1 at Durand.
There's a second WB on the main in Flint that will follow.
There's a WB at Lapeer and an EB holding in the siding at Lapeer.

GTW6401, does CN SD40-2W #5323 usually work two trains? :?: How often does L515 work Mt. Clemens? This is a new operation. Is it daily? :?: It goes in morning usually, correct? I caught it once (not able to get pix of the front) on August 18! Wondering if it will come by on Labor Day morning!

OK, I caught westbound train 397 last Saturday (8-27) in Pt. Huron, MI!!!! Why did it spend the night at Pt. Huron yard? :?: Below is info about!
Here's a video of 397, Bancroft, MI, 8-28-22 (©Logan Mize): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loOMvVTkndE:

OK, a post reported on Facebook® "Tim's Railfan Group" Michael Wiley mentioned "CN 397 currently stopped at Georgetown, Ontario (waiting on 394) MP 23 Halton Sub as of 1049 with CN 5748, CN 8956, UP 8531, IC2466, CN 2576 & BC Rail 4609 F/R/F/R/F/F." This was at 10:51 a.m.

:mrgreen: I got this train in Port Huron!!!!! 😉😁😁😉 First I caught a westbound CN "Auto-rack" train with two SD70M-2s, 111 cars at Dunlap Road. Got there just in time! Then went to catch 397 at 16th Street Amtrak®! "Green Light!" Came in approx. 10 minutes at 4:37 p.m. My S-VHS camcorder battery was dead, did not bring spares. I only captured it there with a 35mm Canon® AE-1 Program. Good to capture the IC "Blue Devil" and BCOL "Cowl!" Why a CN C44-9W? Where are these headed to? My Mom (Susan the driver) took me to Michigan Road! We tried the Service Road and had no problems! Train 397 switched the yard and I was able to also capture pix with two Medium Format cameras. Great to catch it here! Looked like 385 was also switching! Just had two plain CN "Widecab" GEs! Good timing for everything! The real question is: What's next for these "Dead" units? Someone mentioned they are being re-activated for the "Grain Shipping" season! Hope so! Or could these also end up at LTEX? :?:
