Although I've never heard of them moving equipment that way around here for that purpose it is feasible for a contract harvester to do that. Just a moment ago I saw a crew starting to harvest wheat just north of grand ledgeBeckyklisslover6814 wrote:The equipment on q329 could be combines which are used at farms

Is the auto rack on q327 tonight going to get reloaded before it goes back to Canada
Re: CSX Train Location Updates - July 2019
Every day, they are estimated to leave at 17:15. But it varies due to crew availability and other factorsBeckyklisslover6814 wrote:What time are they set to leave the yard

Q326 is not out of Barr yet, but for the moment shows the same power duo that's been running back and forth.

Amtrak P371 is currently stopped east of Hudsonville by a downed tree. D700 is behind them waiting at Grandville.

D700 finished switching Buzzi and waiting for a signal in Grandville. CSX 4036 for power long hood forward.
Re: CSX Train Location Updates - July 2019
D700 thru Grandville at 09:04. Three coils on the rear.
Re: CSX Train Location Updates - July 2019
There’s a pretty large power outage on the west side of Grand Rapids right now. Anyone know if the GR Terminal Sub has deactivated crossings or if Fuller is dark?

Power is out along grand river on the west side of lansing too. I haven't been near any crossings to see if they're out. 1040kd_1014 wrote:There’s a pretty large power outage on the west side of Grand Rapids right now.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - July 2019
Looks like the power is out here in Saugatuck too. Haven’t been by the tracks yet to see if the signals and crossings are active but if Q326 or D700 has to flag every crossing from here to Grand Rapids, that would be a nightmare for the crew
Re: CSX Train Location Updates - July 2019
P371-20 is currently going through Stevensville.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - July 2019
Q329 still not doing to well if this is as far as they made it at this 10:45am post. Coming from South Lyon with red blocks prior to 08:00 with the signal and code line problems on the east side of the state from the pre darkness storm yesterday, saw and talked with the crew at the east end of Brighton prior to 09:00 as they were taking the power off the switches. 328 was still coming thru the blocks with the same issues at that time and not sure where they are as of noon. Q32910 had 3200+3394 with 93 cars.SD80MAC wrote:Q329 is near Fowlerville with a pair of GEs, Q326 is around New Buffalo with a pair of GEs at 10:45.
Re: CSX Train Location Updates - July 2019
Q329 arrived Wyoming Yard at 13:51. So much for that drama.
