Turning east at Plymouth, with UP 8555 + 8352 leading. But they called it out as X115-30 (on 2nd hearing, might be X150-30). Had 202 container flats / deep wells, all of them empty.JustinB wrote:Monster 131 heading north through Romulus now

Got stopped short of the diamond waiting for X115 to turn the corner. G650 finally cleared Plymouth just now with 87 loads.Tier4GEVO wrote:G650-01 cleared Baseline Road by the Cider Mill in Northville at 2:13 PM
14:50 WB K596-01 turning south at Plymouth. CSX 4533 + 282 + 75 steel slab loads.

Though not guaranteed, there is a simple way to identify themSW wrote:Turning east at Plymouth, with UP 8555 + 8352 leading. But they called it out as X115-30 (on 2nd hearing, might be X150-30).

Q150/151 has a lot of Red Hamburg Sud containers. Usually led by CSX power
Q132/131 is almost always led by UP power due to the interchange in Salem. Before Salem, it's coming from Mexico City. Usually has blue Pacer stackers.
Also, they alter between taking the Lincoln Secondary vs. continuing north to Plymouth. It's often they both take the Lincoln Secondary in Carleton, but once in a while they continue northbound due to many reasons.
Considering the train was Northbound, had UP Power, my best guess would he a Q132 (SW reported an X) but it often runs as a S132 also.
Re: CSX Train Location Updates 5/1/2016
I'm pretty sure Q150/151 and Q132/131 are the only CSX intermodals through anywhere in Michigan.SW wrote:Got stopped short of the diamond waiting for X115 to turn the corner.

But then again, scanners can sound crazy at times. Many times, I've been fooled by D737 mistaken as some freight with locomotive #737

NB lined on the Saginaw Sub from South Novi to Clyde. Not at Middle River however, and nothing is lined south of Plymouth, so who knows.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates 5/1/2016
Same train as SW, scanner silent. He really was hauling, I'd say a good 40mph. He blasted for me right under Grand River bridge so my ears are only partially functioning.
Re: CSX Train Location Updates 5/1/2016
What must be a rare coal or Q322 gonna come up the Saginaw Sub, will not be able to report actual sighting.
