CN 250 Train makes a stop in Durand, MI + more railfanning in the area (8/19/26)

On the morning of 8/19/26, I headed back to Durand to a CN Whistle Stop event that was happening at the Union station there which featured 2 CN 250th Anniversary Heritage Units. Before the event, I headed out very early in the morning to catch some other trains there too including CN, Amtrak, and GLC alongside with some other railfans I’ve seen out there before. Definitely was a great once in a lifetime experience to do this.
