CSX Train Location Updates: February, 2020.
So far, no Q327-31.
Looks like the first train through SW MI this month will be P371-01, with IDTX 4613 leading, and 3 Superliners.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates: February, 2020.
Hello SD80MAC, do you know if those 8 Commuter cars actually made it to Grand Rapids on Q329 on Jan 31st, or was the brake problem found when they tried to move them & they're still on a siding somewhere? Thank youSD80MAC wrote:Q329 west at Breton 12:30.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates: February, 2020.
That alone tells me all of the coaches from GLC that I turned my back on and did not see when they left Howell last week are a string of the MANY former silver colored Chicago Metra coaches that GLC bought for a future proposed passenger train years ago that never materialized. Cab cars have operator controls in them so the train can run push-pull with a locomotive on one end and a cab car on the other end. They can spare these cars because there are still a lot more left and stored on GLC.kd_1014 wrote:Q327-01: Very last car on 327 is a cab car

Re: CSX Train Location Updates: February, 2020.
E801-01 is currently going through Benton Harbor. Sounds like BNSF 8791 leading.
Even though I live 8 miles from the tracks, I can hear the horn from this train from inside my house, because it is so quiet and calm outside tonight.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates: February, 2020.
7-1-2020
was in Detroit last night for work and stopped by Plymouth briefly.
7pm saw a GP40-3 coming north and turning east toward Detroit with a steel coil car and about 10-15 gondolas.
then about 730pm as I was leaving signals were green for a north bound move across the diamond.
just caught two BNSF engines crossing mill street north bound with what appeared to be a loaded coal train.
Sorry I didn't get locomotive numbers or train symbols

Q32902 by Howell at 08:46 with CSX 5235+536 and 105 cars. Axle count showed 106 cars plus the two units but one of the cars was a center depressed empty eight axle car. Has work at Lansing. Further DD reports, the total amount of cars will be one less than it shows. Q32802 went east at 06:16 with CSX 874+936 and 103 cars. D708 worked another Saturday yesterday for the 3rd week in a row, When they left Howell they went direct to Grand Ledge to do west of Lansing work.
