Re: CSX Train Location Updates - September 2017
E800 is an empty coal, not a loaded one. It went west through Benton harbor and enroute to Chicago, so you won't see it in Bangor.train91 wrote:Checking on E800, reported thru Benton Harbor at 9:32pm Fri nite, 8/31.
In Fennville, 9:40am, Sat, 9/1. All signal blocks Red, both N and S and no coal trains on siding south of town.
So don't know if E800 already thru, or held down at Bangor.
Heading to Bangor.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - September 2017
Ok, updates. CSX service truck seen again but at Grand Junction southbound.
Spotted loaded coal train on siding, just south of Grand Junction. Two BNSF on lead: #6214 & 9291. End is at signal blocks at WE Grand Junction. CG 55.63, Roads CR215 and CR384.
Cabs are dark, no crew, no lights - number boards or headlights.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - September 2017
Any update on light power at Holland, 11:13am?
All southbound signal blocks are Red, Pullman to Gr. Junction.
Where is the light power headed?
Any update on the "train broken down..." at Bangor?

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - September 2017
Not broken down, just waiting for a new crew. They'll also park loaded coal trains at Gross (Bangor), Grand Junction or Wells (Fennville) to wait if there's no room for them in the plant at West Olive. The light power you saw was heading to the parked coal train to push it up the hill.train91 wrote:Any update on light power at Holland, 11:13am?

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - September 2017
Last I knew they had North Shore Dr. and Paw Paw Ave cut in Benton Harbor, and were waiting on a coal train. Not sure about New Buffalo, but this train will not fit in any of the other sidings.train91 wrote:Any update on light power at Holland, 11:13am?

RN has been calling Q327, but I do not know where they are. They are still in radio range for me, so they are somewhere now between Benton Harbor and Livingston.
12:56....Q327 parked....walking train somwhere near Benton Harbor.

Lite power might also be pushing q326 up as well. Have a listen to the online scanner if you aren't already viewtopic.php?f=15&t=33614

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - September 2017
Q327 has set off 120 cars between Gray and Paw Paw Ave (not sure which track, but originally track 2 was lined last night.) and is taking 89 cars west, heading west to St. Joseph at 1:49pm. The Tri-State Regatta is going on, so there may be a little wait as the river is full of boats and they have the right-of-way.

Wonder if they're playing that hill safe and are doubling to Livingston?Jochs wrote:Q327 has set off 120 cars between Gray and Paw Paw Ave (not sure which track, but originally track 2 was lined last night.) and is taking 89 cars west, heading west to St. Joseph at 1:49pm.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - September 2017
Possibly. They don't really want to stall on the hill and have the train blocking the bridge during the Tri-State Regatta.Saturnalia wrote:Wonder if they're playing that hill safe and are doubling to Livingston?Jochs wrote:Q327 has set off 120 cars between Gray and Paw Paw Ave (not sure which track, but originally track 2 was lined last night.) and is taking 89 cars west, heading west to St. Joseph at 1:49pm.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - September 2017
Q327 is currently heading west at St. Joseph, sounds like CSXT 908 leading, and they left 120 cars in Benton Harbor.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - September 2017
Q326 with the BNSF and CSX power listed before and their lengthy train clear Zeeland 2:20pm eastbound.
For AARR, a full consist is shown. You could pause it 144 times and get all 144 car numbers!
