Re: CN Train Location Updates - July 2023
17:25 - WB A49131-20 with CN 3206/CN 2917 thru Mishawaka, IN with 544 axles.
17:33 - WB Z149 with CN 8863/CN 2585 slowly departing BC Yard.
Edit: 18:30
WB Z149 with CN 8863/CN 2585 doubled up onto Q132-19 with a Markham block. They’ll be a monster when they leave.
Meanwhile around 17:45, another WB A491 from the 21st departed BC for Kirk.
So that’s WB A491-20, Z149-20, WB A491-21, WB Z149-21 and then WB Q132-20 which will go to Matteson and eventually Memphis.
17:33 - WB Z149 with CN 8863/CN 2585 slowly departing BC Yard.

A SB 513 went past MP 22.5 at 6:30 pm with 5430 and one tank car.
Train 507 went flying by just now at 6:50 pm with a lot of racks again, now routine cars for it. Containers were on the tailend.

Re: CN Train Location Updates - July 2023
Flying Eagle, I could see that southbound 383 this morning from afar on my bicycle! Masonic Road, Fraser. I wasn't able to get to the tracks! I was about a half mile west!Flying Eagle TV wrote: ↑Sun Jul 23, 2023 10:23 am383-22 should be around New Haven. CN 3000-3266- dpu 3018 and 174 cars
Later, I shook hands with "Barbie" at an event off Masonic and Groesbeck! Here's the awesome 1997 song "Barbie World" by Aqua® (I remember when it came out): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyhrYis509A
Well, then I could see the far away "Green" signal for northbound train 382! It had CN ET44ACs #3118/3093, 161 cars! Cleared Masonic Road, Fraser at 3:25 p.m. Well, this "Heritage Units" post is wrong! I never saw IC GP40R #3108!!!! It was spotted in Roseville, MI on train L508, 2:52 p.m. today (7-23)! Destination "Watrous, SK" according to HollySubMortinson! Is this engine on a local here? I did not see or hear this! How long have we had train L508? "Fake Post!!!!" IC 3108 Heritage Units link: https://heritageunits.com/locomotive/detail/IC3108
Now, the train of 18 "Dead" units are in Gary, Indiana now! Can trains pass through the derailment site at Valparaiso, IN? Or, were they all re-routed?

Anyway, they will have to pass through MI heading toward Canada! Good news that someone bought them to operate!!!!!

L501 west proceeded from M1 at 09:04, appearing at 08:27. CN duo #8940 + #8908. All auto except for a couple hoppers noticed. He's joining a nice waiting list to get into BC with a few other WBs ahead doing the same
Short Z149 west CN duo #2319 + #5640. 15 loaded container wells & 4 auto racks. Not much intermodal necessary to take and was able to chip in on some autos
A492 east along at 09:55. CN trio #2904 + #3064 +#5466 + GTW #5934. 704 axles. Clear at 10:00

L542 east on mp205 cam at 17:34. CN duo #8908 + #8940 (this morning's L501 power). 7 cars all for Cory. If I heard right, possibly only one of those two are going to be used for a later L500.

Re: CN Train Location Updates - July 2023
I believe to have seen it on the Griffith cam at 14:33:21 with 2 CN in front, auto then intermodal. Two possible theories from someone I communicate with (excluding the recent derailment) were not enough cars to proceed or didn't have a crewManistique wrote: ↑Mon Jul 24, 2023 7:01 pmI haven't seen a train 116 the last few days on the Holly.
