Re: CSX Train Location Updates - March 2023
L302 clear Seymour. CSX 4575 and 4003 is the power. Both engines facing west so either they will spin the power tomorrow morning or it will go west on 327.
This is my life. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
If this is a problem get used to it.
