CN (Amtrak, and GLC) trains on the Flint and Holly Subs in Durand, Gaines, and Troy, MI (10/28/26)

10/28/26: Michigan's weather has been nice and warm recently and that would bring me out railfanning on this beautiful October day. Starting the day in Durand to catch Amtrak P365, GLC leaving Durand Yard SB, and CN L501 on it's return trip back to Flint. Since I figured it wouldn't be busy on the flint sub for the afternoon, I decided to drive over to Gaines and get CN Q116, after that I made my way to Troy Transit Center to catch CN E251.
