    The Flint Subdivision is a railway line in the state of Michigan. It is owned by the Canadian National Railway and runs from a junction with the Michigan Line and CN's South Bend Subdivision in Battle Creek, Michigan, to Port Huron, Michigan. At Port Huron, on the shores on Lake Huron, it connects with the Strathroy Subdivision which runs through the St. Clair Tunnel into Ontario. Historically, the line was part of the Grand Trunk Western Railroad mainline between Chicago and Toronto.

    Today the line mostly handles freight. Amtrak's Blue Water uses the line between Battle Creek and Port Huron. Freight yards on or near the line are located in Port Huron, Flint, Durand, Lansing, and Battle Creek.

    The locomotives for CN I was thinking Some GEVO's, C44-9W's, C40-8 Standard cab's & Wide cab's, SD75I's, SD70M-2's, SD60's and Cowl units.

    Great suggestion, Brandon. I'd also love to see the CN Heritage ET44ACs and the GTW SD70M-2 (which would be appropriate for this route as an ex-GTW line).

    I'm in the same boat for the Heritage Units that would be a great edition on the Flint Sub
