Yet another overcast day. Of course the sun was out Friday while I was at work.

09:48 to 11:05
CN 385 stopped to lift cars at Brantford.
CN 5741 - CN 2593 - CN 7258 - CN 204
In with 78 cars, lifted 22 tank cars, departed with 100 cars.

He stopped out front of the station so the conductor could get the journal for the lift because it included dangerous cars.

CN 148
CN 5408 - BNSF 10?7 - CN 5527 (will get complete number on the BNSF when I get my slide shots back)

Keep the pics coming Aleks I enjoy them, with my new scanner and antenna I heard alot of the action up in Lansing today I might be able to give you some heads up now. Sounded like alot of foriegn power today heard A CSX leader UP and BNSF leaders as TD3 talks to the crews and identifies trains by symbole, engine make, and number will have to get used to the symbols to make sure they make it your way.

Sure, I'd appreciate any heads-up.
The Eastbounds that come through Brantford from Sarnia/Port Huron are as follows:
144
148
274 not sure if this runs every day
276 not sure if this runs every day
278 not sure if this runs every day
330
382
384
390
392
394
396
398
U784 runs on occasional basis.

Westbound to Sarnia/Port Huron
145
149
271
275
281
331
383
385
391
393
395
397
399
U785 runs on occasional basis.

You wouldn't see the following but I figured seing as I'm listing them I'd cover all the ones I know of through here.

Eastbound from Windsor
434

Westbound to Windsor
435

Eastbound from St. Thomas
NS 328

Westbound to St. Thomas
NS 327

I may have missed the odd one if I haven't heard them on the scanner or have not seen them in awhile or they always run through the night while I'm sleeping.
