CSX Train Location Update 10-9-13
Can't see if CSX delivered to the GRE, 36 on the rear of 371
Re: CSX Train Location Update 10-9-13
The CSX OCS was sitting in the auto loading facility south of 795 in Walbridge yard this morning at 0800. There were crew members around the head end and the rest of the train but I don't know when it might take off or to where. The best guess from yesterday's TO thread was a morning departure heading via Bates to Deshler and then to Chicago.

As of 8:20am, Q32609 was at Holland waiting on Amtrak P37109 to clear west. Q32609 with 3600' of train is then going to meet D70009 who was westbound at Ivanrest in GR. Sounds like D70009 has a SD80MAC in consist today; awful amount of power for such a short train, lolz.
D70709 east at Plaster Creek in GR 8:39am.

This just keeps getting stranger - now hearing the "OCS" is some kind of Walbridge to Detroit (via the Lincoln Secondary) turn job today running as a D701...

I never would have thought that the CSX coal trains on CN was a big enough story for CSX to bring their OCS train to ride the route.MDH wrote:This just keeps getting stranger - now hearing the "OCS" is some kind of Walbridge to Detroit (via the Lincoln Secondary) turn job today running as a D701...

Re: CSX Train Location Update 10-9-13
Perhaps that wasn't the reason - or the only reason for the trip?

15:00 EDT: Z151 sitting SB under 96, power just short of Vans. Not sure if they've done the switchout yet or not. 3389 will lead northbound later. Looks like two bananas in front for SB

Re: CSX Train Location Update 10-9-13
Z15109 south approach Market St in GR, heading into Wyoming Yard, pretty sure NEVETS on the radio. Also at that time, D70009 were ok on a reverse move at the east end of Wells...dunno what they are doing.
Some D800 job is supposed to be on duty at West Olive around 6pm it sounds.
Argh... went trackside attempting to find D70009, was almost to 16th St, gates down and through goes their train of 3 cars.. blah. Really need a scanner in the car.
