Amtrak P371-04 @ 07:28:27 westward N. Center St crossing Bangor, Mi mp CG60.35 live cam with 7 passengers On at the station mp CG60.5
Amtrak P371-04 @ 07:40 westward reported by the Defect Detector mp CG66.2 in Hartford, Mi with 16 axles. This DD was heard as nice as we hear the DD19.1's reporting, which is rare due to the DD66.2's location not being favorable for reception by the Broadcastify's online scanner site location.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - May 2023
M327-04 @ 7:47am heading west passing Ottawa Ave mp 5.87 where the Grandville mp CG6.0 signals shows a Medium Clear: CSX #134 (CW44AC) + CSX #4569 (SD70MAC) + CSX #6460 (GP40-2) (all elephant style) & 165 cars
Noticed the pink box, unusual to see.
CSX #6460 ran on Y106 a few times in GR. Assuming an annual inspection is due or this engine is rotated to a different state.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - May 2023
Y121-04 eastbound on the M.J. lead Zeeland Michigan @ 08:47
CSX engine #6515 running lite
Note: @ 09:12 Y121-04 eastbound has picked up the 8 axle depressed center flat car and is now picking up 2 empty center beam flat cars from Zeeland lumber.
One cannot but wonder if the crew of Y121-04 was feeling the zeel this morning as they worked in beautiful Zeeland Michigan.
You can feel the zeel as well by clicking on the link provided below.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - May 2023
Thanks, sleep deprived from this morning still. Just napping on my recliner sofa and listening to all 3 scanners.
L303-04 @ 11:40 states CSX #5455 can not be started and this is the 3rd unit in consist(?). At 11:48, they found CSX #5455 battery was dead, so this engine is “dead in tow”
L301-04 still in the yard building (?)

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - May 2023
Did that Grain Train for Marquette leave yet? I haven’t spotted any reports regarding it.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - May 2023
Bluewonder and I had the same idea, posting at that time! His report much more detailed than mine. 4055 I believe last ran on the Plymouth Sub in the 302/303 rotation shortly after last year's symbol change around February. Did L305-03 not run again yesterday? As for the Marquette grainer, was that G763 which ran on the night of May 2nd?
