| CP run-through train X512 (Kansas City-Toronto Agincourt) is eastbound descending Salem Hill, the ruling grade between Detroit and Chicago, through the hamlet of Salem, MI at milepost 31 of the CSX Plymouth Subdivision. CP trains were roughly 50% of traffic on the CSXT Plymouth Subdivision at this time. That would change, however, when CP elected to do business with NS instead on the mid 2000s. I lived just outside of the hamlet from 1994-2002, and so I was treated to all manner of CP and Soo power. As a side note, a pack of coyotes lived about 200 yards from me between my house and the CSX mainline. Come nightfall they would howl back at CP horns when blowing for the Currie Road crossing, but said nary a peep to CSX horns. |
