COOL!!!! Here's the (©LG fan) video of 396 going through Charlotte today (5-21): https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=deskt ... EDKaAOyV2g
Train 396 with CN "EJ&E Heritage" ET44AC #3023 was spotted ("Heritage Units") heading east through Swartz Creek at 4:39 p.m. It should still be working Flint, right? Maybe Roger should head to Port Huron now to catch for me!!!!! Posted at Swartz Creek by MichiganRRproductionsYT: https://heritageunits.com/locomotive/detail/CN3023
