<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by blubomber1: Hello all.....Thanks for the warm welcome. I saw CNDave tonight at work. He's the engineer on the F50331-07 train. Basically, it's a CP detour train that runs on CN's line. The CP crew brings it from Toronto to Port Huron,MI. and get a cab back to Canada. Then, the CN crew picks it up here, and moves it to Battle Creek. Another CN crew will relieve them, and take it to the Bensenville, IL. where a CP crew takes it to god knows where. If anyone has any questions about schedules and times of CN trains, I'll do my best to get the information to you.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Hello all, out of Bensenville, it takes the CP (Ex-SOO) exx Milwaukee to KC or up to Minnapolis/St Paul to transfer to the BN or even head back to Canada. This yard (Bensinville) used to be my old haunt for the first 18 years of my life and often saw CN units in the round house. Now I know where those locos came from, thanks to Kurt and Dave.

Heres hoping <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> July is a bad time of year, Jimmy....GM shuts down for 2 weeks, and it normally takes another 2 weeks for CN to get back on its regular freight schedule.Keep watching.....who knows? Maybe if you click your heels together and......nevermind.
