15:48 EST JUST HEARD ROUGE TOWER TELL D705 CREW THEY ARE GOING TO TAKE 3 TRACKS OF CARS FROM WYOMING EAST AND PARK IT WHERE THEY GO ON HOS. WILL KEEP AN EAR ON THE SCANNER TO SEE HOW FAR THEY MAKE IT.

Cool info SD80MAC! Thanks for the updates

Sounds like a road trip might be in the works in a couple of years. Always wanted to see a "new" rail line being constructed. Closest I've come are a few new spurs installed here and there and when CSX put the double track back on the B&O across Indiana and Ohio around the time they split up Conrail.

11:07 EST D70210 CUT OFF THEIR TRAIN WITH ONE LUMBER FLAT. CURRENTLY DIGGING OUT THE UNLOCK AT CG6 TO GET INTO THE RUN AROUND TO WORK STANDARD LUMBER. Z15110 PERMISSION FROM ROUGE TOWER TO GO INTO 41K BY THE COACH LEAD.

16:55 EST D702-01 IS STOPPED BY THE RN AT 16.3 (64TH ST CROSSING) DUE TO A TRUCK ON CROSSING. MOW IS HEADED THAT WAY TO SEE WHAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED TO THE TRACK.

I had a N-Scale KATO SD70Ace that had a similar issue. Found out that a piece of ballast had gotten into the rear truck and was only effecting the gears in reserve. Forward it would not catch in the gears. Got the ballast out and then it ran fine.

12:13 EST Y106-25 RUNNING AROUND THEIR TRAIN AT ELMDALE. SOUNDS LIKE D702-25 IS WORKING WYOMING. Q326-25 SHOULD BE CLOSE TO HUDSONVILLE.

16:40 EST. PER THE SUPERSCANNER SOUNDS LIKE THE RAIL GRINDER MAY BE GOING INTO THE SIDING AT WELLS TO TIE DOWN FOR THE NIGHT.

06:05 EST P37110 WB PLEASANT ST. IDTX 4614 LEADING.

Um.....what is a “Karen” rail fan?

A pushy, usually female, wanna be in control of everyone's lives, type of person. Check out YouTube videos for "Karens". The male versions are called "Kevins" (if I remember correctly).

I thought the male of the species were referred as "Kyles".
