Q33507 CN5659 CN2431? by Beck Rd Plymoth @ 04:57

Correct on the second CN unit. Q335 went over the DD at Fowlerville @ 06:21 with 708 axels, which equates to 174 cars. Only 14 more than yesterday's 160 cars. On top of that, there was an X335 running ahead of him with another good jag of cars. Power for that was CSX 7385 & HLCX 8072 in BN green paint. Been awhile since a Helm unit has showed up on the Plymouth Sub.

Thanks much for the heads up Tlout. Happened to check the board about a minute after you posted, got down 143rd Ave south of Holland, jogged up to the I-196 overpass and got a shot from up on the embankment at 12:12pm of E95006.
Location after lead locos by:
Nice with no codeline here anymore.
Based on how much higher that JT's photo was taken from, I'm guessing he actually was on I-196

As seen from the I-196 overpass.

I guess so!

Last I heard regarding Q335 with the two CN units and 174 cars, Q335 took the head 50 into Ensel and left the last 124 in the siding at Trowbridge and then died. Unknown if the power is still at Ensel or back on the train. They wanted D708 who was turning back west from Fowlerville with only two cars by 12:15pm, to pick up the train and drag it into Ensel, but cancelled that. They may want them, after they tie up, to go back and get Q335 and take the train to Fox, or into GRP. That was three hours ago. Safe to say, 335 has still not arrived in GRP yet.

[brysonda]

D708 has EC1 from Ensel to Grand Ledge for a power move to set up for a D907.
K931 is around North Lansing.

Just read previous reply and checked Trowbridge. 335 still sitting in the siding right now.

D707 was in Woodbury heading west about 13:48.
