CSX GRE MQT Train Location Update 7-1-08

Unread post by Raildudes dad »

Looks like a 4 car train to King this morning. 164 and 90413 on 371 with 164 leading. New "MMRR Property - No Trespassing" sign at the yard office. According to the GR Press Walker is going to build them a new 5 lane bridge over 3 Mile in 2010 :shock:

Could someone please confirm a train number for me please?

This morning (7/1) I saw CSXT 7614 on the head of a manifest waiting to enter Stanley Yard. I suspect it was Q506 (but it could be Q324 or something else...) and I didn't hear them on the scanner before I had to leave. As a note, he had 4 or 5 gons loaded with switch panels after one spacer car behind the head end. I'll try to post a picture tonight.

Thanks!
Michael

Hey Michael, your CSXT 7614 looks to have been on Q50630, looking to get into Stanley still as of 10am.

Did W055 already go to Grand Rapids?

To correct the ignorant. Tracks west of Alpine are owned in entirety by the Coopersville and Marne.

When Y121 headed out of Zeeland I wonder if they noticed the caboose is still in the siding from where they left it yesterday......

Please do not poke at the ramp agent because he has the power to make your vacation
memorable or miserable. It all depends on what flight you bags go on.

You mean a bridge to span five lanes...two in each direction with a turn lane? If so...ABOUT GOSH DARN TIME!

There was a third unit on Q335-01 today when he went by Howell. This is the one I missed, and would have been behind 5479-8145.

Hmmm, when they got to GR, they only had 2 units. Maybe thats why it took them so long to get from Lansing to Lake O, set out a unit at Ensel?
