This was my first time visiting Lapeer Michigan and railfanning along CN's Flint sub which to this day might be my favorite Canadian National subdivision. Anyway, in this action packed video, I filmed 4 trains in Lapeer Michigan starting with my first ever catch of Amtrak's Blue Water service. In this video I catch the Westbound Amtrak train heading to Chicago, following that 2 CN Westbound Manifest freights roll through both containing foreign power locomotives! After those pass an Eastbound with a trailing 100 Year Anniversary locomotive that was tied down on the second track gets permission to pass through.
