Re: CSX Train Location Updates - May 2023
There’s a long cut of cars in the pass at Holland siding, mostly 2 bay covered hoppers with a few odds and ends thrown in. Not sure if it’s part of L301’s monster setoff from Grand Rapids, or if Y121 staged these as outbound as here for an easier pickup by L301 on their eastbound run.

L305-08 @ 20:39 reported by the DD mp CH79.9 Okemos, Mi with 176 axles. CSX engines #2428 + #4055 & 41 cars. Very rare for this DD to be heard on Broadcastify's Plymouth CSX/CN scanner. My guess is he's returning to Lansing.

The Companion Alternator makes AC power for the traction motor blowers and cooling fans.Tom49801 wrote: ↑Mon May 08, 2023 3:19 pmOn Saturday May 6th, U301-05 (an extra L301) @ 00:54 hours had advised the Dispatcher their engine had lost its Companion Alternator & is dead. They were headed westward at the time to work at Arlington Metals in Sawyer, Mi mp CG105.2 when they had broke down on #2 Track mp CG80.9 between Riverside & Grey.
I had looked up what a Companion Alternator is & found "the alternator or generator that traditionally provides 100% of its output for the traction motors." Today's M327-08 had picked up the CSXT #4070 & took it with them to Chicago. Whatever cars U301 had at that time are still tied down where he had broken down & it's not in today's L301-08's plans to pick those up. So, in the meantime, all rail traffic is being looped around those cars via #1 Track.
