Re: CSX Train Location Updates - March 2024
There is a relay box next to the MJ Lead switch near State Street. Does this switch have an electric lock so the dispatcher can see if it is fully closed for the main? I wonder if they were having track circuit issues and had to clear up that area for some reason. I appreciate all these Y121 reports even though I can’t come out and see them today!GRHC wrote: ↑Wed Mar 06, 2024 12:37 pmNo at first I thought they were going to Plascore or maybe Hudsonville but then they came back about five minutes later. For some reason they ran down close to the signal and came back.SD80MAC wrote: ↑Wed Mar 06, 2024 12:29 pmThey will run out to Hudsonville and run around their train rather than shove to or from Zeeland.GRHC wrote: ↑Wed Mar 06, 2024 11:11 amY121-06 eastbound passing through Zeeland Michigan @ 11:11

Note: i’m not sure where this morning‘s train is headed. It may be going to Plascore located on the east side of Zeeland Michigan to pick up an empty or down to Hudsonville Michigan for some reason.

Y121 north at Riley St. Holland 3:41 PM. Looks like a "shoving platform" (we used to call them a caboose), two coal hoppers, a couple covered hoppers probably for Endeavor, and some gondolas from Padnos.
Re: CSX Train Location Updates - March 2024
I saw this train passing through ST. Joseph Michigan on the WSBT 22 ST. Joseph cam @ 15:44
Note: this is not the most reliable camera to watch trains on the CSX Grand Rapids subdivision.

This is the best camera to watch trains on the CSX Grand Rapids subdivision.

L301-06 @ 16:09 eastward reported by the Defect Detector mp CG44.2 Pearl, Mi with 84 axles. He had called the Dispatcher & instead of going into Holland on the Pass Track, he wants to back in into Waverly.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - March 2024
19:34 - L303 heard in Brighton, no visual. Any word if they had 5292 and 7027 east of Ensel? Wondering if they dropped those units at Ensel or if they took them to the plant.
This is the second time 7027 has been up here this year, the first being replacement power for G125-26 of January 27th, paired then with 3225 after G126-18's power, 5475 and 738, were taken south.
