They want that GEVO leading given its a road train. I would guess they dropped it and the rest of the train in Fowlerville and will be back for it.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - December 2023
But here's my question. Why did they take the time to wye the sd40 in Plymouth in the first place? I'm thinking they are having issues with it.
Re: CSX Train Location Updates - December 2023
23:52 - B222 west through South Lyon.
Green Oak DD at CH39.1 said 6 axles.
00:08 - B222 west through WE Brighton.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - December 2023
Likely the engine has some sort of mechanical issue that prevents it from being a lead unit. Possibly missed by the inbound crew, or maybe something happened while it was sitting.Vinnie5497 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 29, 2023 11:09 pmBut here's my question.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - December 2023
^ This. They wouldn’t run light all the way to Plymouth and back just to “put a Gevo in the lead since it’s a road train”. That’s not a thing.

P371 made a comment that he didn't think N327 was running today and tower comfirmed that M327 is not running today

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - December 2023
Headlight/ditch light failure was the culprit. Worked when the inbound crew spun it in Plymouth so wasn't a known issue.
