Nice work on the video Ben, and crazy how quickly you edited this and got it online after the meet! No worries about all the people in the shots; that's a part of our meetups :)

33:52 - that is me in the red plaid shirt. I had a great time catching up with everybody. No doubt that CN saved the action for that afternoon, either that or things were delayed given a train came apart in the tunnel at Port Huron that morning. I was not there all day, however I was able to get symbols for what I did see. Q116 (4:20), M396 (9:25), E251 (17:45), L508 (22:25), M302 (31:40), and U713 (34:40). After U713, M394 and M399 met on the double track, but M399 blocked the view of M394.
