That's good and bad news I'd say, keep us posted please.

BOTH units still sitting at Rouge yard. RR-42 (NS 5329) heading down to the long marsh with some steel cars for the mill. They will pull the empty coal in 2 cuts . The outbound crew will not be called until the trains back up in the yard. They also have to spin the power. Looks like daylight runnin...

The RDG and LV units will be going to River Rouge (MI) Power Plant wednesday night to get the empty coal cars and bring back to Conrail River Rouge Yard. NS Crew called for 0300 EDT on July 12, 2012 to take the train south to Toledo, Ohio. That means it's coming back down overnight? If so, that doe...

Any news on an estimate for when they will leave, and will they be heading down for Toledo..with the empties? Since I'm guessing they haven't left today and won't be tonight.

They delivered the train to River rouge (MI) Power Plant around Noon with the RDG & LV units than they were going to spin them at West Detroit than back to the Rouge. Any time for when they come back? I was out there for a few hours with nothing. EDIT: This was down by Toledo to note, as I thought ...

As Trenton got a train dumped today, my thoughts have it going to the Rouge. I'm hoping they don't cut the power and go out in the morning, if n...

The autoracks come out of Toledo on L506,they run around the train on the double track between Ecorse and Coolidge.Th...

506 ran around their train and went South to Toledo from Ecorse just after 8am. CN 5264 solo Any clue how long it was? Sadly I missed it, as that'd of been awesome for me. (usually down here you don't see a lone engine like that) 46 cars of automotive traffic. 506 almost always has a SD40-2W GP40-2...
