Probably just an equipment move as there's no tickets listed for tomorrow's P37119 available on Amtrak's site, so you'll probably see them just blow through Bangor in the morning.Tom49801 wrote: Wondering if the morning train will be just an equipment move for Amtrak to Chicago?

Re: CSX Train Location Updates: March, 2020.
Q32919 by Howell at 08:52 with CSX 5310+4 on the head end. For those that cant figure it out, that's not 4 more units behind 5310, but engine #4. 329 had a whopping 162 cars so highly doubt they will be picking up at Lansing to get the 25 cars D708 brought back yesterday plus whatever else there was to go. That would be regardless of which end they put them on. Among the 162 was the empty SPSX ribbon rail train cars that went east with the BNSF power back on March 8th. They were on the rear end of the train. There were a fair amount of loaded scrap cars in gondolas as well. Dont recall seeing those go west before from Detroit, even if they came from Flint to start with. Q32819 went east at 05:37 with 966+8199 and 97 cars.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates: March, 2020.
Don't count on it Tom, I have a hard enough time counting half that many when I am trying to notice certain cars at the same time. For the most part, I'll take your DD reports over my counting. If I am only off by one, I am doing good. By the way, you do FANTASTIC on controlling the cameras at Bangor when a train is passing and going from one to the other. Love those zoom up's and then switching directions.Tom49801 wrote:Q329-19 @ 11:56am reported by the DD at mp CH126.3 with 656 axles & 9,862 ft long. CSX engines #5310 + #4 & 162 cars.

D708 building his train to head East. Lots of scrap tie gons for GLC.
JAIL is waiting for them to clear so they can head south out of Ensel.

D708 went as far as Trowbridge siding and left -#4046 there on its own and came back to Ensel. They did not head East despite having a significant amount of cars.LansingRailFan wrote:D708 building his train to head East. Lots of scrap tie gons for GLC.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates: March, 2020.
But they eventually did. 4046 had issues and had to be left behind. 4035 came east alone and they put 43 cars into the Howell pass for GLC who was here 90 minutes later and picked them all up.LansingRailFan wrote:D708 went as far as Trowbridge siding and left -#4046 there on its own and came back to Ensel.
