The outages I recall recently were in the Howell and Brighton areaspudgy wrote: ↑Fri Aug 11, 2023 10:05 pmNot familiar with any details, but possibly due to the impact of traffic around Lansing when the signals are not functioning properly or have code line problems. Lots of interrupted traffic flow when having to run restricted speed from Trowbridge to Williamstown.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - Aug 2023
Anyone catch that CP boxcar in today’s M326 with the KCS graffiti? Obviously someone has some feels about KCS. In a nice scripty text on the side it says “Go to He** Southern Belle” and there’s a KCS-style red logo that says Value Heavy Metal. Screen capture from the Bangor cam. Someone has some skills.

CSX 911 (Spirit of First Responders)

Not sure on length, had two mid DPs but I believe we’re taken off in Danville, IL. and split into two trains

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - Aug 2023
Code line is in very rough shape from Trowbridge to Fowlerville, especially around Williamston. Have had several occasions of red signals from Trowbridge to Williamston, which ties up traffic around MI State and surrounding communities. Also impacts train speeds and ability to pull the hill at Meridian, a tough pull at track speed with tonnage.
Yes Ann Pere is an issue, but apparently not a primary one.
