Re: CSX Train Location Updates - January 2024
L302-21 @ 14:18 Rougemere Yard/Detroit job briefing with the RN Dispatcher: CSX engines #4544 + #5351(?) & ?? cars. Too much static & low volume for his side of the conversation. Did hear he has a quick doubling to do. Dispatcher had mentioned to him L303-21 was at/by Williamston mp CH71.5 with CSX engines #3333 + #770 & 8 cars (L303 had no work for Lansing).
L302-21 @ 15:09 departing Detroit.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - January 2024
When it comes to CSX's SD70s, I've lost count the times either a ditchlight is out or both are off, or the headlights aren't on but the ditchlights are.
I wonder if the lighting controls aren't intuitive or are different enough to cause confusion, or maybe they just aren't reliable.
L302 called an approach "at the top of the hill" for CH 51, by the time they had gotten to Ann Pere the signal had improved to a clear aspect.
