Re: CSX Train Location Updates - March 2023
The GLLX engine #4428 was taken to Grand Rapids yesterday to be spun around & will be returned to the West Michigan Railroad (WMI) in Hartford, Mi. It was delivered to the WMI by L301-01 on March 1st but was pointed long hood forward, which, the WMI RR had requested it be brought to them facing the opposite way. Expecting to see L301 returning this engine to Hartford this upcoming week, unless, they run a U301 over this weekend (extra L301).Robertrains wrote: ↑Sat Mar 04, 2023 7:20 amOK, ex GTW GP9 #4428 is being returned to GLLX! I've photographed it in the past, including Conrad Yelvington® Stone near Flint!

They should also be bringing a replacement locomotive for CSX #2785 which was assigned to Y121 for duties out of Waverly yard in Holland Michigan.Tom49801 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 04, 2023 8:22 amThe GLLX engine #4428 was taken to Grand Rapids yesterday to be spun around & will be returned to the West Michigan Railroad (WMI) in Hartford, Mi.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - March 2023
L303 yesterday had to jump start the #6544 before they started building their train, no idea where in GR that engine is now.
Andy’s Train & Railroad Productions had posted in Bangor Chat: CSX #6544 moved westward to Waverly sometime yesterday.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - March 2023
Alright I have to visit WMI someday! Now, is there anyone on the east side who knows where Precision Leasing® ex WM SD40-2 #7471 is? Did it already leave CSX? Or, could it be around Rougemere Yard? It would have been cool to catch GLC sending this stuff out last Monday (2-27)! A guy ('Flying Eagle') somehow caught that train! It had an ex CEFX GLC SD40-2 #329 (SD45 body), GLC GP35 #385, GLLX GP9 #4428, PNLX (WM) SD40-2 #7471!
