Forgot to post last night, but saw X116 go south through Plymouth around 8:30pm. Q322, Q277, D716 and likely something else went by too around 7-9pm.

Re: CSX TRAIN LOCATION UPDATE JUNE 11, 2014
I don't see how two units at the opposite end of the train is "in tandem" either. Tandem usually means coupled together either pulling or pushing in unison. It's not at all unusual for a push-pull lash up on a midwest service train even if it's not typical on the 370/371.amtrak1007 wrote:MQT3001 wrote:Interesting that they have two units capable of powering the train running in tandom...trnwatcher wrote:22:23 EDT P37011 EB GRANDVILLE.

Re: CSX TRAIN LOCATION UPDATE JUNE 11, 2014
If one looks at the Amtrak national consist book, it states that 370/371 are to have either 2 engines or one engine and an NPCU... Whenever chicago doesn't have enough NCPU, 370/371 will get 2 units. I for one am excited its a 500 series unit, just like the old days.ns8401 wrote:I don't see how two units at the opposite end of the train is "in tandem" either.

Re: CSX TRAIN LOCATION UPDATE JUNE 11, 2014
Sez the book, but over the last several years it has been a P42 + cars, or P42 + cars + Cabbage.amtrak1007 wrote: If one looks at the Amtrak national consist book, it states that 370/371 are to have either 2 engines or one engine and an NPCU...

Re: CSX TRAIN LOCATION UPDATE JUNE 11, 2014
The little fella is probably too young to remember, but the PM used to run with 2 engines all the time years ago when they would throw on a unit in Chicago that had just been worked on to test it out.

It happened occasionally, not all the time. It was easy to detect because the engines would be coupled elephant style.SD80MAC wrote:The little fella is probably too young to remember, but the PM used to run with 2 engines all the time years ago when they would throw on a unit in Chicago that had just been worked on to test it out.

P42 + Cars + Cabbage (NPCU) Alex, so that would be the same as a P42 on each end in the consist book. When it has only one engine I cannot speak to or explain.MQT3001 wrote:Sez the book, but over the last several years it has been a P42 + cars, or P42 + cars + Cabbage.amtrak1007 wrote: If one looks at the Amtrak national consist book, it states that 370/371 are to have either 2 engines or one engine and an NPCU...

Re: CSX TRAIN LOCATION UPDATE JUNE 11, 2014
All that I know is two working locomotives on the PM over the last 3 years has been very rare. Always been just one P42/500 with cars, sometimes with cabbage, some times without. That is why I pointed it out as abnormal...that is allns8401 wrote:P42 + Cars + Cabbage (NPCU) Alex, so that would be the same as a P42 on each end in the consist book.

Re: CSX TRAIN LOCATION UPDATE JUNE 11, 2014
Right but that isn't what we are saying and it isn't exactly what the book says. It is normal for two units or one unit and one cabbage to be on the train. 1 engine and cars is the abnormal event. You are writing as though the book says 2 engines are the only normal thing. It is normal for two units or 1 unit and one cabbage. Not for 1 unit and that's all.
