Re: CSX Train Location Updates - Oct. 2023
Thank you! Been very busy with school, work and life in general. I should also mention I have since moved to Novi Michigan close to the LSRC line. Thought I’d come down to South Lyon where I grew up for 10 years and catch the heritage unit coming by. Posts here are seldom for me now, but I can’t thank you and all the other members enough for all the train location updates and assistance you’ve provided over the past number of years. It has been an honor to be apart of railroadfan.

It was indeed an air hose hanging down on the rear DPU that had actuated the DED alarm.
