Re: CN Updates September 2021
The first new Siemens Charger train set for VIA Rail is in Chicago. A UP crew is taking them to Markham Yard now to be handed off to CN. They got off the Elsdon Sub at West CN Junction at 7:45 AM eastern.
We were expecting them on a 396 as that is the usual train that handles freight from the UP but now we may see them on a Z148 which originates in Markham. Union Pacific did run it as a unique train with a solo locomotive so that COULD happen as well although CN probably would rather piggyback it on a freight.

R934 the lansing local dropped off four empty scrap gons and six full boxcars to JAIL today.
They have two empty boxcars and a high and wide load on a flat car to pick up.
