Please don’t get anyone’s hopes up. Don’t need people to waste time waiting for hours for a train.railfan isaac wrote: ↑Sun May 07, 2023 10:02 amKcs 4871 is on Grand Rapids sub in west olive power plant for any railfan people he should be going south today at some point

Re: Kcs on Grand Rapids sub
I believe "at some point" should be a disclaimer that nothing is known for sure as of now, and if someone chooses to wait, it could be a while.Andy24 wrote: ↑Sun May 07, 2023 1:10 pmPlease don’t get anyone’s hopes up.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - May 2023
Yes, G126-05 is heading to Grand Rapids. Another Newaygo grain empty with 84 cars. 335 was trailing 3094. Both units facing forward again but it does not make any difference with the train going to GRP.

Re: Kcs on Grand Rapids sub
Bangor chat says that the next coal empty expected out of west olive is E80107, but they are not on duty yet.
m326 with 126 cars and power only on the headend? well, it's dry enough, hope they make the hill
L30207 is also westbound out of detroit, around MP11 as of 3pm. L30307 appears to be holding at Trowbridge for the G12605 who is west of williamston.
