CSX Train Location Update 5-4-12

[Raildudes dad]

Outbound kings gone at the GRE, looks like 2 outbounds for GDLK and an inbound toothpaste ingredient car. That car is blocking the number on the power on the rear of 371. Watched GDLK switch the frac sand transload at the end of Mart St (from the public road). There were 2 TSBY cars in the mix. The brakeman started glancing at me a couple times then gave me the staredown. I know he was talking to the engineer on the radio but I didn't have my scanner on to hear the comments. Wasn't feeling any love Half expected a Wyomimg PD to show up, there was one busting a panhandler at the SB 131 28th St off ramp only a few minutes before.

A big smile and a wave didn't make them feel any better?

on way to dentist saw 371 at jenison ( main st ) running late at 830am.
on way back to east waverly saw 326 meet 700 at hudsonville - 1010am iirc
also a question - since return from the sunshine state i have yet to see
any eastern loads for west olive, i saw that the dumpers were down for
maintence till end of april. just wondering when the eastern loads will
resume or if west olive is going powder river coal totally?
