OK (Facebook®) shows ex CitiRail® CN ES44AC #2764 and CN ES44AC #2858 powering eastbound Train A492. Charlotte, MI, 10:39 a.m. Did this train make it east to Port Huron yet? If not, where is A492 now (just after 2 p.m.) :?: These leading are not common since only a few have P.T.C. :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

At 21:10, there was a southbound taking the High Wye in Durand, and it looked to have about 2 or 3 cars. I don’t know what it is, it’s not L508 as it passed an hour or two prior. Anyone know what this is about?

It’s not that because it went down through Holly, Gaines, Royal Oak, ETC.

A Southbound 280-type train just cleared Linden at 6:10pm with 2 CNs and all autoracks. Sorry no car count.

This is the first Southbound all autorack train I've seen in a while.
