Z145-30 was working McGrew today with LSRC 4300, LSRC 5921 and LSRC 2052. I saw it at Stanley Rd at about 7:00 AM.

Z145? Z127-30 for future reference

Nope, they said Z145 several times. I'm within spitting distance of the Saginaw Sub. I got a video with scanner audio if you still don't believe me.

Per the wiki, z145 usually works between saginaw and midland. Maybe they just kept the symbol on to flint. http://railroadfan.com/wiki/index.php/L ... y_Southern

It's called the CSX Saginaw Sub. CN is the Flint Sub.



I'm uploading the video to Youtube as we speak.

No it doesn't. It's still the CSX Saginaw Sub. The interchange is at the Mt. Morris siding BTW not Flint. CSX only leases it to LSRC (doing business as Saginaw Bay Southern). In the video (about 5 minutes in, they were going really slow) you'll hear them talking to CSX Dispatcher RN who controls the Saginaw Sub. They also use the CSX road channel.

HESR 702 just left bay city with 94ish cars including 65ish grain for the CN. most of the grain are NOKL hoppers. Has the 5175 and 5086 leading.
I am surprised if the 65 grain cars are going to CN. Usually they get set out in Saginaw for LSRC.
CN usually drops those off for GLC/HESR.
So CN handles bigger than 40 car blocks of grain from Durand? For some reson I was under the impression they preferred 15-25 car blocks and let CSX have all the 65 car + blocks :?
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...
