"HO, HO, HO, Merry Thanxgiving!!!!"
Caught a "Thanksgiving Train!!!!" It had two engines, 104 cars! This southbound train 385 (unsure of loco numbers) with a CN SD75I and a CN "Gevo!"
It cleared Masonic Road, Fraser, about 3:10 p.m.

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.

Re: CN Updates: November 2022
COOL!!!! LansingRailfan, did you see this train? 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!LansingRailFan wrote: ↑Thu Nov 24, 2022 6:22 pm

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.

251 northbound at MAL Junction in Pontiac.
Re: CN Updates: November 2022
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.
