Re: Brighton, MI outing
The line through Brighton does not go to Flint. It starts in Detroit and goes through Plymouth, Lansing and on to Grand Rapids. On the weekend maybe one train in each direction, maybe two?

D708 is now L305.

Re: Brighton, MI outing
Hi Nick, L305 is off on the weekends. So far, L303 has been arriving Lansing for their work there between 2:00pm & 3:30pm (subject to change, of course) & then continuing east to Detroit when they've completed that work. You can keep tabs on L303's progress on the CSX Train Location Updates thread. I can hear the scanner reports usually to mp CH95 for the eastward traffic & usually don't hear when L303 is done at Lansing.NickThatRailfan wrote: ↑Sat Jun 15, 2024 12:25 amWould it run through Brighton on a Saturday? If so what time(s) roughly?

L302 and L303 often meet at South Lyon, the next siding east of Brighton. Keep an eye on the CSXT location updates thread as it’s possible if you see the eastbound first the westbound may come along before too long.

Re: Brighton, MI outing
Not sure I will see 303, I wont be getting there until 5:20ish and he went through Trowbridge at 15:48. They are running a U302 tonight though and he is OD at Plymouth at 18:00 not sure what time he would get through Brighton though.
