What exactly does Y297 do? I have not really followed them that much but have seen them show up.

Yes, Nugents older facility is frequently called the lincoln facility because of its location off lincoln street. That is just always what i have referred it to.

They have 3801 moving around up there although i personally have yet to catch them. No sign of 73. any news on whats going on with 3803? its been sitting on the dea...

3839 and 3836 came south through grand haven last night around 12:45 with 22 cars. 1 from bay, 5 or 6 tanks and a few good strings from nugent

Anybody take note that 8404 is still in YN1 paint?

Z627-17 southbound with 3839 leading 1 box, 8 sand cars, and 10 tanks from web / brinks. No work at Bay logistics tonight which caught me off guard so i went on a little chase.

3885 is leading tonight with 3839. they have 1 for bay, 8 from nugent and 4 from brinks.
Dont trust the count 100% i got the count from the yard. they were tied up on the scale track when i saw them.

No outbound Boxes from Bay / Shape tonight but they did do a set out there. they left shortly before 11:30 So, are you predicting this is what will be on the train tonight? Or is this actu...

CSX 138 and CSX 7832 Did the waverly pickup. they have been sitting at the EAS for quite some time now as signal maintainers have had waverly tied up for a while as they wire up the east end. sounds like they just cleared up. Y121 made it back to waverly with 1 hopper, 2 boxes and a caboose. Almost ...

What is going to happen on the north end of waverly? they did an upgrade from the west leg of the wye northward to the approach signal at riley street in 2001 and they kept the C&O rules. are they going to change this over or is this end staying as is?

Northbound Loaded Coal train past Bridgman CG100 @14:08. Two BNSF Gevos in lead and first car is a BNSF hopper... Should be approaching St. Joe soon. I'm guessing this is an N903. Power is BNSF 6011, and BNSF 6051. I saw this at Riverside at 2:55pm, and the BNSF car is actually a BNSF gon, it has a...

Z627 finished their work at Bay Logistics by 11:15. they went south with 3 boxes and 7 sand cars. 3885 was leading. 3885 and 3839 are back to back tonight. they must have wyed one of the locomotives while working waverly last night.

I heard on the scanner this morning that Q326 got stuck on the hill and needed extra power to pull it up. Does that have anything to do with this thread? Yes it does, so if Q326 is stuck on the hill I would suspect the extra power would be heading west bound and have red signals. What steps are nee...

one thing to note, last nights Z627 had a Blue CSX auto parts boxcar in the mix. a nice change from all 60' high cubes from bay

Was she sent out by rail? or is muskegon her final resting ground?

most industries in muskegon that take tank cars are worked later in the day. as a result most of the time they do end up closer to the end of the train, although they ususally have a few more than just one.
