Western Michigan CSX channels are 08, 12, 14, 25, 35, 53, 70, and 91.

Okay I appreciate this but are you able to tell me exactly which one is for what? Which was is specific to waverly yard? Do the all yards use the same frequency?

So I'm trying to program my new scanner. Got a Uniden BCT15x. I found on radio reference a list of all the frequencies I can use as well as the GPS coordinates which I plan on using for the programming. I'm just slightly confused with it. There is nothing labeled for Waverly Yard in West Michigan an...

M327 in Hudsonville at 7am. I'm sorry I didn't catch the lead engines and lost count of the cars.

M327 is still waiting I guess for the air system. They're 172 cars long. They're having issues with the air system pumping the lines. They're saying on the radio they're probably wanting them to move this amount of cars before the storm. Sounds like they're gonna reduce M327 down to 150 cars. At thi...

This is sure a long wait for Amtrak to get distance. I've watched 327 leave within 15 minutes of Amtrak passing by. It's been nearly an hour that Amtrak went through Hudsonville. Either way I'm parked right next to Ivanrest waiting. Thanks for the Engine numbers for 327 as well. They're supposed to...

M326 in Grandville at Ivanrest at 6:52am. Leading engine 3076 and 526 trailing at the end. M327 is also in Grandville waiting just before Ivanrest. M327-21 has CSX #358 + CSX #5265 leading today. CSX #358 has a broken heater so they are sending that engine straight to Chicago. M327 has to wait due ...

Amtrak P371 - Hudsonville at 6:30pm

CSX M326 sitting just before East End Hudsonville waiting for Amtrak to Pass.

Did they stop calling out signals?

11:51am P370 completely parked for the night. Conductor applying the handbrake on last superliner.

P370 backing into GR station at 11:20pm. 3 superliners and IDTX 4603.

Heading to wealthy street to watch and film turning the train around at the Wye.

L302-17 Approaching Pleasant Street at Hall Rd. in Grand Rapids. He currently has an approach signal at the Pleasant Street Signal. 7914 and 7811 leading.

I have no idea what the first few hoppers and further in the train were but it looked like some white sand.

Well I suppose keep an eye out for myself as well. I'm in a silver Chevy Cruze. I plan to stop at the surplus store at Ivanrest to watch them come through I always wait at the pools place right under 28th st along the tracks to watch them come through. P371 across the bridge at new Richmond 7:15 Th...

M326 approaching Ivanrest @6:58am.

Now that was entertaining. I never get to see M326 as I work third shift. Was surprised after leaving 80th in Zeeland and the crossing activated.

6:38am P371 passing M326 heading towards West End of Hudsonville. M326 sounded his horn and is on the move.

@6:14am M326 Entered the siding in Hudsonville. He is going to have to wait for P371 to go through this morning. Currently parked at some business watching. Probably gonna chase into Grandville since I'm on my way home from work. Sounds like Amtrak hasn’t even left Wyoming yard yet (I’m parked at i...
