The trailing two units behind 3121 & 264 on Q33528 when it went by me last night at 21:03 with 167 cars was 4527 & 8812. Sounds like the power for I-334 today.J T wrote:Q335 clear Grandville at 0623. CSXT 3121 & 264 for power.

What I assume to be D707 heading west just cleared Thornapple at 1715. Through the trees on 52nd Street in Whitneyville it looked like CSXT 1520, 2 CHs and 7 tanks.

P370-30 departed St. Joseph at 19:41 EDT, 3 minutes late.
Re: CSX Train Location Updates 4/30/15
Q33529, CSX 4541+7635+5354 with 162 cars, by Howell @ 21:05. Seconds later, at MP 56.4, they struck two separate piles of RR ties and debris piled on the rails in the big "S" cruve going up the hill which has stopped the train. Crew now inspectng their train. The very same thing happend to to the old MR13 train from Flint to GRP 35 years ago. That one derailed all four GP9s, ruptured the fuel tanks and sat them all on fire. No one was hurt on that train but it sure caused major problems. Hopefully this is no where near the case tonight.

They go to Cascade Engineering at Fox IIRC. Also could be buffer cars, but probably the formerJ T wrote:Figured it could be, but the CHs threw me off.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates 4/30/15
Q33529 is now proceding west from MP 56.4 but will still have to have a recrew enoute. Everything on the rail, locmotives not damaged from what could be seen, but possible they could encounter more air problems later. I see what the problem was though, the axel count was 666 on the train.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates 4/30/15
Heard Csx 4552 east bound solo unit with a k 931 train calling clear on a pair at fox. Chased them down and they are now at Thornapple. Looks like empty stone hoppers.
Elmdale at 23:50.
Clarksville dd: 206 axles 2718'
Getting an approach slow at elm road.
Slow approach at the west end of lake o. Going into the hole at 00:08.
Stopped on the siding at the east end of lake o at 00:18. Nothing on the road channel or from the rn. I noticed the signals were being lined behind them for a west bound as I followed them home.
