CSX Train Location Updates - April 2022

[Tom49801]

What I'd guess is L301 is west at Vine 92 at 15:58. 90 axles, 1325 feet at 91.9 DD.

That was L301-06 westward with CSX engine #4384 & 21 cars. He has work for Arlington Metals in Sawyer mp CG105.2

L303-06 by Fowlerville at 16:34 with 90 cars. 5444+5313 on the head end. L305-06 with single unit 4014, and 33 cars, went belly up in the Fowlerville siding before even starting to get their first work of the day started. Good day to have only one unit. Currently waiting for a ride back to Lansing.

How did what happen, and what has yesterday's G804 got anything to do with it? As soon as L305 arrived at Fowlerville with single unit 4014 running long end forward, once they came to a stop to uncouple from their train, the locomotive would no longer run in reverse (forward) Turned out to be a computer issue which could not be resolved. At they told the mechanical desk "we are dead in the water" then. Crew had plenty of time left. TMO taking them back to Lansing to perhaps get 8350 and return.

L305 @ 18:49 was talking to the RN Dispatcher about going west from Trowbridge & into Lansing on #1 Track & they are to talk to l302-06 that's presently working in Lansing. Call was too faint to hear what L305's engine # is but he is bringing cars - the Dispatcher was asking about the length of his train.
