CN Train Location Updates - July 2023

[KC8RBK]

Where is "Walton" exactly? This is a good train! It is too bad I missed the eighteen "Cowls" etc. going to "Scrap" last week!!!

It's a checkpoint close to Bellevue, MI. (197.0) Checkpoint-wise, it's about 5mi SW of Charlotte, and about 11.3mi from the next checkpoint northeast of it, which is cpPotterville (208.3)

If you get on Google maps and check out the satellite view it's just time table west of 5 point highway where Stine comes to a T
