Re: LSRC & HESR updates.
Nope, they said Z145 several times. I'm within spitting distance of the Saginaw Sub. I got a video with scanner audio if you still don't believe me.Evan wrote:Z145?

Re: LSRC & HESR updates.
Per the wiki, z145 usually works between saginaw and midland. Maybe they just kept the symbol on to flint. http://railroadfan.com/wiki/index.php/L ... y_Southern

Re: LSRC & HESR updates.
It's called the CSX Saginaw Sub. CN is the Flint Sub.Evan wrote: Oh, i am simply saying i haven't heard Z145 Before, and i live right next to their Flint sub.
I'm uploading the video to Youtube as we speak.

Re: LSRC & HESR updates.
No it doesn't. It's still the CSX Saginaw Sub. The interchange is at the Mt. Morris siding BTW not Flint. CSX only leases it to LSRC (doing business as Saginaw Bay Southern). In the video (about 5 minutes in, they were going really slow) you'll hear them talking to CSX Dispatcher RN who controls the Saginaw Sub. They also use the CSX road channel.Evan wrote:it changes on the LSRC, The saginaw sub ends/begins in Flint. its the Flint sub on LSRC.TomCat4680 wrote:It's called the CSX Saginaw Sub.

Re: LSRC & HESR updates.
So CN handles bigger than 40 car blocks of grain from Durand? For some reson I was under the impression they preferred 15-25 car blocks and let CSX have all the 65 car + blocksEvan wrote:CN usually drops those off for GLC/HESR.AARR wrote:From Patrick CI am surprised if the 65 grain cars are going to CN. Usually they get set out in Saginaw for LSRC.HESR 702 just left bay city with 94ish cars including 65ish grain for the CN. most of the grain are NOKL hoppers. Has the 5175 and 5086 leading.
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...
