Re: CSX Train Location Updates - November 2023
Not only did no one speak of the dead head, my Cellcam shows the rail grinder was through my woods at 23:30 and 00:30 last night, the after midnight time throwing sparks.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - November 2023
They met the R59708 at roughly 02:00 and grabbed the power from them at Grand Junction. R598 parked the set of empties in the siding for the next crew and C801 took the loads up to the plant and left them at Hiawatha. No room at the plant and not much time to work by the time they got up there.Andy24 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 09, 2023 6:02 amC801-08 @ 00:03:27 eastbound W Monroe St crossing mp CG60.72 Bangor, Mi with BNSF #8563 with 129 loaded coal cars with rear BNSF #9702 Executive MAC DPU. He did add CSX #3243 and CSX #759 behind his leader and continue to the power plant. Unknown what siding he added his power at.

Replayed my recording of it and even though I got the car count right there were only 35 empty stone gons. Made a bad decision to look straight on as it went by and because of shadows I may or may not have gotten myself dizzy a couple seconds

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - November 2023
Lite power through South lyon at 2:25 am. Headed westbound. I don't have my scanner because im visiting but my guess is it's most likely power for the previous G804 in Webberville.

When did Verizon get outta the phone business and into the passenger car business? Or did Amtrak create hybrid horizon and venture cars? lol
