First of all, there are no "unfamiliar crews" in Grand Rapids, since they are all Grand Rapids crews. Second, there is no place anywhere east of Grand Rapids (until you get to almost Detroit) that trains can go 45 mph. As Alex said, the speeds on certain tracks in Wyoming yard were recently raised, 25 mph on the main line, and 20 on the even lead, among others. He probably saw them going 20-25.bkoole98 wrote:Someone I was talking to at the east end of Wyoming yard at Judd street told me that he saw X369 come into Wyoming yard at roughly 45mph. Anyone able to confirm that? I believe him but I sure as heck would've liked to seen it. If the crew was unfamiliar with the area and no one up in the the east tower, then I guess there wouldn't of been anyone here to stop them.

I know it. The guy was an older gentleman and don't get me wrong we had a great conversation, but I think he was a little crazy if he thought they were going that fast through there.Doktor No wrote:45 into the yard? Hyperbole? More like bull sh#t. Where do they come up with this stuff?

9302 is leader on D802. Something just cleared Holland WB. 327 maybe? Poor radio on the leader. Lots of static. Must be the hurricane.trnwatcher wrote:2125 D802 GOING AROUND WEST WYE AT HOLLAND. BNSF 9XXX LEADING.

P370-10 is currently going through Benton Harbor. Sounds like AMTK 61 leading.

X369 has been stopped for a while. Maybe CSX will be storing the cars near Beck Road? They have room there.
