116 flying SB past MP 22.5 on the Holly at 2:33 pm. Long train with just a few autoracks on the head end. Not Thanksgiving in Canada!
Looks like something else is cleared to come down the Holly. Maybe 356?

A NB went by MP 22.5 on the Holly around 7:30 pm. I presume it was Train 507 but didn't bother to look (too dark). Not a holiday in Canada.

:shock: COOL!!!! LansingRailfan, did you see this train? :shock: A rear D.P.U. is great! Is CN putting them on the rear more in MI now? :?: I prefer them on the end (for photos) and CN requires Red Marker Lights!!!! Were they lit on this D.P.U.? What engine number was it? However, I actually don't like the single red lamp! Most are like that! :( They look much better built into the nose how they (and 'Class Lights') are meant to be seen! This picture (© Der Langsame) shows CN ES44DC (built January 2006) as a rear D.P.U. in Fond du Lac, WI, January 2019! This here looks great!!!! I wish all the D.P.U. engines had these like this! Also, CN EMD SD70M-2s have them, but by the numberboards! :wink:

SB Train 515 is past MP 22.5 on the Holly at 8:20 am with 8906 (?) as its power today. Pretty big power for a local.

116 south on 2 at MAL Junction.

116 met 515 in front of the Amtrak station. 508 is picking up 3 engines later and dropping one off, so the CN 8818 isn't staying.

Do you know what engines L508 is picking up?
