Hey Tom, that red is awfully hard to read given the background color on the board - I have it set to the default. Might just wanna keep it as the standard color.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates, September 2020
Oh ok, will do. I wanted to use a different color when a post had included trains from both sub-divisions. I had tried some of the blue colors but wanted a darker blue. I went back & edited my previous D705 posts & made them bolded in white.Saturnalia wrote: ↑Wed Sep 23, 2020 12:30 amHey Tom, that red is awfully hard to read given the background color on the board - I have it set to the default.

Q326-23 @ 4:26pm eastward reported by the DD mp CG19.1 with 280 axles & 3,905 feet long. CSX engine #3392 leading & 67 cars & rear CSX engine #3021. He had set off 12 cars in Waverly/Holland.
D706-23 @ 4:39pm was told by Dispatch they cannot depart Grand Rapids if their train is over 10,000 feet long. Their train is 11,838 feet long & then a question was posed regarding how many cars they're suppose to pick up at Lansing since that may put them over 10,000 feet, again. They're waiting for a reply from Dispatch. They're setting out 24 or 25 cars in Lansing & will be picking up 59 cars.
E801-22 @ 4:49pm westward reported clear of the St Joseph Bridge with BNSF engines #8561 + #9132 & 130 empty coal cars.
D706-23 @ 4:54pm was told by Dispatch they're ok to proceed as they are - after all of that, appears they won't have to cut cars prior to departing Grand Rapids.
