CN Updates: November 2022

[LansingRailFan]

No P365 yesterday AM so No P364 last night and now no P365 today so no P364 tonight.

[LansingRailFan]

I don't know the history of the locos, so someone else will have to chime in with that info.

3300 used to be 2641, couldn't find anything about 3301.

3301=2591

116 is passing MP 22.5 at 4:12 pm on Main 1 with racks followed by containers. Long train. I think it had two 8800/8900's as power.

It had a rolling meet with returning NB 515 out back on Main 2.

LORAM RAIL GRINDR IS EB CLEAR CP MAPLE AT 16:25

[Manistique]

251 is approaching Milwaukee Junction.

Passing MP 22.5 at 5 pm. Long trip from Milwaukee Junction. The IPO unit is disappointing, just a patch.

I didn't invest in Conrail when it went public and was sorry I didn't. So when CN went public I decided to (lighting striking twice thing). I bought 100 shares of CN stock on its first day at around $20 a share. After stock splits and a few years I sold it at a very good profit. My only wise investment ever.

Five more to go on L508>L506 to Toledo

LansingRailfan, are these five ex BNSF CN C40-8Ws coming through Royal Oak again tonight (11-2)? Will these be combined on train L506 with the five other "Dead" locos (CN 2454/BCOL 4612/IC 2460/CN 2156/CN 2177) from yesterday? Or did those already go to Toledo? When will 508 depart from Flat Rock headed to Toledo with hopefully all 10 "Dead" locos? They will all go to Lang Yard! Maybe easy access for photos? Now, I will have a chance to go out Friday morning to Flat Rock area (or Sat. with a 'Railfan' to Toledo)! I want to see the ones with the IC "Blue Devil" and "Cowls!!!!" Where are they and does anyone know the time they'll depart for the last time?

[LansingRailFan]

E280 went to Cory Yard today. CN 2222 was leader. They are now pulling the last empty coal train from Lansing Board of Water and Light and will head west.

EB M394 is in BC
EB M396 is in BC, will follow M394

WB E280/C711 may meet them at CP Maple idk

They had track work on the Shared Assets today, and on the Holly from D&M up toward Moterm.

I did see track workers on the railroad bridge crossing I-75 in Hamtramck today around 11 am.

I’m working on an updates post but figured I would share this FB post from LG Gibson with a YouTube link to the video of the last empty coal train to be pulled from Lansing:

11/2/22 18:41 66 degrees at CN Charlotte as CN 2222, running long hood forward, and CN 2523 power Train 542 over ChS junction switch and past the old GTW Depot. This is the FINAL coal train with empties from BWL power plant Lansing at sunset. Lansing BWL completed switching to natural gas generation. Some local RR history captured. 🥲 RIP Trains C712/C711. 🥲 Full 4:03video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2ucBDsrOu ... e=youtu.be
