Now if they can just stall X289 until tomorrow afternoon when I get out of class I can chase it!

it was a ghost train to justify a crew a hotel stay.

i think you mean michigan city not new buffalo. new buffalo will be the last signal still in service going west until you get to the ns Rob Not true, there will be the Joy holdout signal, along with the east and west end of Michigan City. The Porter signal was removed, there was little need for it ...

no it went like this:

because Amtrak went into emergency e949-24 had to run restricted speed look out for track problems.


Rob
p.s i was the hogger on this one

the k357 was put in the csx computer to keep a crew a grand rapids crew in the hotal instead of deadheading home.

the d-jobs will not be get the emptys out of west olive, the outbound empty crew will be doing it. that is what the west olive pool is for. the d jobs will be the pusher .

csx has scrap the idea of gitting rid of q327/q326 for now. the rr can't move d709 to plymouth because the work cann't leave lansing!!! the union and the company set up some zone for crew and the only way a jobs can move over a zone line is if the union and company agree. i don't see that happen any...

Rob

rob

Rob
