CSX Train Location Update 10-2-13

[Raildudes dad]

Looks like CSX picked up at the GRE, can't see what was delivered behind 371 nor the # on the engine on 371 behind the yard office building.

[J T]

Could you at least see if there was a trailing unit?

[donnieland]

370 push - pull with 4 by east wy approx. 824am
700 long hood forward with 2 boxes approx. 835am
326 with 2 cp units for power 848am by east waverly

[~Z~]

D70002 west clear MP 30 south of Holland, Q32602 east clear Zeeland CP 9779 leading with 4800' of train - 8:55am
Thanks for posting about the CP power donnie, that would have been nice to see.
Good chance that E94901 is on duty at West Olive and should be departing in the next couple hours.
Q32602 must be pulling out of Zeeland slow, 10 mins later just now clearing Vriesland at 9:05am.
Y19502 getting ready to head back east from Grandville towards Lamar in GR. 9:06am
D70702 east at Snow Rd east of Grand Rapids 9:10am, believe Q33502 got into GR around 7:30am.
Hearing something sounding like G or D01602 out there, can't make out the other end of the conversation.
Ok, so appears we're getting some skip... K63730 west at Milford Junction in Indiana at 9:40am.
Y10602 east at FOx in GR at 10:07am

That was Q016 you were hearing with what sounded like CSX 3050 leading. I have also heard the RA talking with the Q386 this morning.
Very good reception this morning. While sitting at Snow Rd waiting on 707 I was able to hear D700 call the signal at milepost 30 south of Holland.

Y106 is currently working out at Elmdale. Yesterday they had the 2680 for power and began having issues with a traction motor smoking on the way east. From the sounds of it today, the 2680 was left at Elmdale and is being positioned in the old run-around track out there where Hulcher can get to it.

K931-01 came off the Plymouth Sub and cleared Plymouth Interlocking going southound at 10:45am with BNSF 4992 and 52 empty stone hoppers. Southbound Q241-02 cleared at 11:05am with CSX 333, CSX 7585, and 19 autoracks. D739-02 departed North Yard and was southbound with CSX 2741 (Still in YN2) and 1 boxcar at 11:10am.

FYI, appears that E94901's crew got aboard some engines and empties at Grand Junction around 11:45am, and are taking their train westward.
Chris, your K90102 is actually K93101, empty rock from Lansing to Carey OH.

[Racer]

Here is something interesting that just happend; D738-02 just departed North Yard and went eastbound via Saginaw Wye with CSX 6027 and an 86ft autoparts boxcar where they are destined to work "Levan" according to the radio conversation. CSXT 180605 is the boxcar if someone could trace where it is going.

[Racer]

Sounds like D738-02 is running around the boxcar at Levan, then headed to Middlebelt Yard after Westbound Q151-02 clears.

Hulcher? not someone like loco docs?

Also 188 was the trailing unit on 371. 90200 was the leader.

GDLK went north bout 1115 with 5 CH's returned south a while later with 5 CH's

[Racer]

Q151-02 cleared Plymouth at 2:00pm with an AC4400CW, C40-8W, 117 loaded and 1 empty intermodal. Q272 is near Wayne Junction. D739 should be returning north after him.

[cnw8835]

D700 east through Hudsonville at 1528.

Edit: Z151 okay on their EC1 to come south at 1530. 3389 leading.

[LSRC]

Y597 working Joe Brown with the 6086

[cnw8835]

Q334 should be getting there train together at Wyoming now. From what I have heard they are adding CSX 8724 to the front of the CP power from Q326 this morning. The CP power appeared to be 9779 and an SD40-2.

[brysonda]

Sounds like Q334 rolling through Lansing.
