What time is this train expected to be in the Port Huron area? :?: Where is this train heading? :?: Could it traverse the Mount Clemens Sub.? :?: It is cool, but would be better with CN E9As!!!! :!:

L515 (GTW 5853) finally left SB out of Mount Clemens after a rather hectic morning. Held in town due to police having to corral a naked man who had climbed to the top of a communications tower near South Mount. Also, had some signal trouble which required getting in touch with CN big shots in Homewood and Montreal. Crew was concerned as the DS told them there were some "limited" violations that had occurred. Happy to get the hell out of dodge after everything resolved.

X383 by Mount Clemens depot at 13:30. CN/CN, 43 cars.

Should’ve been 8832 and 2678. That was actually 385.

Also, does anyone know if CN will do a roundtrip for this train? :?: It would be cool seeing it come back west hopefully another day soon! :mrgreen: :wink: :wink: :mrgreen:

What happened to… CN 5728 set out 3 FTTX flats (161785, 964038, 940703) at the Swartz Creek GM warehouse at 1650?

This is R944 using CN 5728. They’ll probably go to Durand later.
