CN Q116, L515 (W/ Conrail pickup) & Amtrak 350 from above - Royal Oak

On 3/13/24, CN Q116 came in with the GTW Heritage leading, but unfortunately I couldn’t catch it due to school. So I had the plan to go out the next day to try and see it lead E251. I had a half day so I thought I’d have time, but unfortunately they had the train come through early, so that was a bust. I still went out, and we could see the red signal in Troy stay red for 30+ minutes, and then I looked at Ferndale and saw that it was flashing red for Q116. So I at least was able to get one train (Or so I thought). After 116 CN L515 came through with a Conrail pickup. A conrail pickup is just the certain type of cars. The leader (5466) was in notch 8 up the grade. Pretty cool to see. Then we know Amtrak was gonna come soon, so we gathered our stuff and went up the parking garage. Nothing special about it but still a nice catch.
That’s all for today, see you guys in the next one!
