Q289 running lite just turned east at Plymouth about 10 minutes ago. Too far away to see the 2 engine #s, but heard CSX 612 leading on the scanner.

Re: CSX Train Location Update 3-21-14
Came off the CSX with what looked like 130 normal cars and then a half dozen bottom-dump cars from BNSF, not matched with the rotating ends...cnw8835 wrote:Currently sitting just north of Porter.

Re: CSX Train Location Update 3-21-14/ Fox?
In the Grand Rapids posts, there is a reference to "Fox" location, which seems near the GR Airport. To what is Fox referring?
Re: CSX Train Location Update 3-21-14
Fox is the name of the siding next to the airport. Used to have quite a few industries one of them had the name Henry A. Fox. They distributed beverages. Alot has changed since I railfanned in grand rapids. Most of the industries at fox are torn up or no longer served.

Q334 passing through woodbury at about 11:15. Ch116.3. I'm guessing that was the one at the airport you heard. Would have been an east bound.train91 wrote:Someone blowing going past GR airport at 10:05pm. Going E or W I couldn't say, but usually EB this time of night. Been wrong before...

It was called Fox long before Henry A Fox moved to their location on 36th Street.

My late father said it was named after a family farm in the area when the railroad was first built.Raildudes dad wrote:It was called Fox long before Henry A Fox moved to their location on 36th Street.
