Re: CSX Train Location Updates - March 2024
Those 87 cars was brought up to Newaygo by Marquette Rail last week per post in the Shorelines Thread. Than pulled south in 2 trip since 87 loaded grain cars is probably too heavy for a single trip.David Collins wrote: ↑Sun Mar 31, 2024 1:14 pmWhere is this grain train from?
