Green Oak DD at CH39.1 says 428 axles and 6160 feet.
"Sparrow24 could be described as a mediocre railfan, as he is generally disinterested in horn types and couldn't tell you one locomotive from another."

OK, is this "Geometry Train" W003-16 heading west to Barr Yard for certain today, 8-19? :?: Of course I would love to capture ex Marc CSX GP40WH-2 #9969!!!! :shock: Also, CSX F40PH #9999!!!! :shock: I won't be able to get to Grand Rapids before it leaves today! I have never seen any CSX F40PH units or 9969! This would be a nice capture! Man,

Amtrak P371-19 @ 08:15 westward reported by the DD mp CG91.9 with 16 axles & 308 ft. IDTX engine #4612 & 3 SuperLiners.

Q327-19 is westward & had reported from mp CG12 @ 08:03 with his 173 car train running non-stop. Still nothing at all heard for W003, which includes no EC1 radio calls on channel 35.

RN to Q326-19 @ 08:22 saying they'll try to get him to New Buffalo mp CG116.5 before Amtrak arrives there.

Not a word for W003 yet, not even an EC1 radio call.

Q326-19 most likely has CSXT engines #5455 + #404.

Update: hearing W003 activity with Rouge Tower @ 08:48 inside the Grand Rapids Terminal :)
