Train 507 flying by MP 22.5 at 6:41 pm.
I was home until 4:30 pm and never saw 251 go by so it took its sweet time getting here from Trenton today, if it ever went by.

Re: CN Updates: November 2022
Train 508 went by last night around 9:30 pm. It had a couple doublestacks on the headend, the rest mixed. There must have been a 116 to Moterm yesterday and these containers were from out east. Their operations are in many ways reverting back to what they were six to nine months ago with respect to containers with 508 being instead a mixed mop up train whereas 514 was always containers. I wonder if 507 and 508 swap crews in Pontiac?
SB Train 515 just went by MP 22.5 at 7:45 am with an SD60. I missed the number.

Re: CN Updates: November 2022
Approximately how long do you think that would take to get down to Ferndale? Track is lined for motern while there is clear signal for a northbound on the middle track as of 1300Dan Cluley wrote: ↑Mon Nov 28, 2022 12:00 pm116 going through East Lansing at noon on M1.

Re: CN Updates: November 2022
Depends on traffic, but if everything is lined up, seems like about 45-50 min from East Lansing to Durand and maybe an hour from there to Pontiac. Not sure about Pontiac to Ferndale but maybe 20-30 min?Redwing9 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 28, 2022 1:02 pmApproximately how long do you think that would take to get down to Ferndale?

Re: CN Updates: November 2022
Just passed MP 22.5 in Bloomfield Hills at 1:42 pm. An 8900 was second. Lot of mixed freight up front including sand cars (a lot of WC ones) and 50 boxcars (including a brand new or newly painted UP on #160016).
It takes about 50 minutes from East Lansing to Flint, 40 from Flint to Pontiac and 20 minutes from Pontiac to Ferndale, maybe less on the expressway instead of Woodward.

Re: CN Updates: November 2022
If they're running track speed (50-60 mph), it would normally take 15-20 minutes.
