CSX Train Location Updates: May 2017
Re: CSX Train Location Updates: May 2017
Unless something changes for the better, the last D701 from Flint was by Howell at 11:32 with CSX 7777 & UP 8717 and 54 cars. SURE NICE while it lasted for four weeks with two noon time trains Monday to Friday and one each way on the weekends. They WILL be missed !!!

Any updates on D701? Been sitting at Thornapple for the last 2 hours and haven't heard jack on the radio 'bout it.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates: May 2017
What sounded like CSX X3?? East through Williamston
I'm here
Re: CSX Train Location Updates: May 2017
Wished you or somebody would have seen this, and not just heard it. This was another Willard train with a slew of locomotives and another very long train. Due to an unexpected ant problem in the bedroom last night, forgot to turn on my scanner. Awoke only as is it was bearing down on me and got to the window only in time to get the flood lights and my glasses on, let alone paper and pencil in hand. CSX 7905 was leading, a CN unit in the consist somewhere and I think a U.P. too along with several CSX units. At last five or more. This train went by Howell at the exact same time as Friday mornings X394 train. (03:10)Wabash1070 wrote:What sounded like CSX X3?? East through Williamston

Re: CSX Train Location Updates: May 2017
Should've been 3 CSX engines with a CN SD75I and a BNSF Gevo thrown in too, 130ish cars by my guess. Not sure of the symbol.

Q326-28 sitting at 64th ave in Vriesland because the Zeeland detector detected 4 defects on the train so now they're inspecting the whole thing. CSXT 7774, CSXT 5105, and CSXT 7855 on the point.

Also, I guess there is an X503 East at Madison.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates: May 2017
Do we have a D907 anywhere in the area? I was hearing on the scanner earlier that once D907 arrived in Wyoming that they would get taxied out to Grand Ledge and assist X503 but I haven't heard anything.
Re: CSX Train Location Updates: May 2017
X50328 east, CSX 52+8547+ UP 8717, CSX 7777, with 140 cars, by Howell at 16:07. First 86 cars was a grain load from Grand Ledge, back 54 cars miscellaneous freight out of GRP. Last car in the train was an eight axel flat car.
