Yes, below is his post! Now, did they just use 533's power? Was it two engines for the "Hospital Train?" What were the engines? Were the light engines different?

This derailment is bad!!!! Luckily no one was hurt! Now, what locomotives took the "Hospital Train" today and yesterday? Are there going to be more? Now, after work I checked the derailment site! They were unloading rail/ties at Stephens Road, Warren! Whole section of track waiting to be installed! I could see derailed cars in the distance!!!! Lots of work trucks! Road closed there and at 9 Mile! Derailed cars on the ground in the distance! There was one Flat Car with Aluminum on the siding! That must have been a car "Re-railed," correct? They plan on "Re-railing" more cars I presume! When is the next "Hospital Train" expected? I remember the 1995 derailment over I-696!!!!! I witnessed the carnage there at age 11!!!!

OK, was this a local train on the Mt. Clemens Sub. crnodak1sd70m-3 reported? I would like to know when the next CN "Hospital Train" will arrive! Does anyone know?

Update: I hear something at South Mount (before noon)! Sounds like train 385 is coming! Can they get through the wreckage?

M382 was by Mount Clemens depot at 02:35.

M383 by MTC depot at 06:54.

M385 by MTC depot at 12:50, CN/CN, 108 cars.

L533 departing MTC for Port Huron at 13:15. CN 8846. 533 worked FCA today - they were hungry for cars due to the derailment.

MTC sub back to normal save for slow orders over new track for a few days. Ho hum...

Things went back to normal quick! I caught train 385 at Masonic Road around 1 p.m. Later I caught northbound 382 with two regular CN "Widecab" GEs, 159 cars!
That was around 3:30 p.m. at C.P. Beck, Fraser!!!!

The 5-22-1995 derailment over I-696 was much worse! I have film pictures of that! Someday I will scan/share! I was 11 years old then! Here's a short news video (shown by Matthew Cipolla) about the CN (GTW) derailment over I-696, Warren (my comment is the only one): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hI6dmqVJjnQ

Train 507 is flying through Bloomfield Hills at 6:30 pm with two CN locomotives and a few cars for Pontiac on the headend.

SB just passed MP 22.5 on the Holly with a single 5400 leading a few mixed with the rest of the train autoracks at 6:55 pm. Not very long train. Didn't look like 450.

It is coke but it is not from a ship. There is a company over there that makes coke and it is shuttled by CN to the Dearborn steel mill.

I am just guessing but it may be 30-40 cars a day.
