Re: CSX Train Location Updates 7-31-16
That's funny, just had light power with two CSX units going EAST not long after that. This one just more power to go to Plymouth to try and move last weeks GRP cars out of Plymouth. Hard to believe, but with 708 running only three days last week, and only twice to Plymouth to get cars, they send 708 with to Plymouth with one unit on Friday to get 150 cars. Can't figure why they never made it back. The two times they came back west with cars last week, (over 100 each time) they were supposed to switch GLC at Ann Pere coming back, but haven't made it yet. No time to do any local work when your running for the law.CN_Okemos wrote:Light power move WB through Okemos at 13:20. 2 CSX locomotives

Ever since CSX annulled Q334/Q335 service east of GRR has suffered.
I can't imagine customers putting up with this crap much longer.!

Re: CSX Train Location Updates 7-31-16
Either T540 or N660 came northbound through Novi at 4:35 PM. Power was CSXT 286 and CSXT 3163, pulling a long string of coal cars, they might have been covered because I could not see any coal bulging at the top. Train was going very slow, just faster than a brisk walk pace.
Re: CSX Train Location Updates 7-31-16
Train had mostly DEEX Detroit Edison reporting marks on it, with some randoms mixed in.Tier4GEVO wrote:Either T540 or N660 came northbound through Novi at 4:35 PM.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates 7-31-16
I saw a Grand Rapids train at the M-14 overpass west of Sheldon Rd. at 15:30 on my way to Ann Arbor. Didn't see any power and it wasn't moving so I couldn't tell if it was going or coming.BL2-1843 wrote:That's funny, just had light power with two CSX units going EAST not long after that.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates 7-31-16
The power is/ was a single CSX ES44AC with the usual cut of 140+ cars that goes beyond the horizon. Even with an AC unit, good luck getting that train over Salem Hill....SW wrote:I saw a Grand Rapids train at the M-14 overpass west of Sheldon Rd. at 15:30 on my way to Ann Arbor.

Ever since they reinstated the GR-Toledo through traffic on D708 to Plymouth, 708 been going to Middbelt Yard more often to get cars left from 392 since they no longer set off in Plymouth (gee, I wonder why?). Somedays D738 will come coasting west across the diamond with all the cars to Beck, all picked-up from Middlebelt Yard when there are too many cars in East Yard and/ or Beck for 392 to set off which is happening often this past week.
