Supposedly there’s an EB Grain train today out of Webberville. You guys might look for a green EB signal.
I’m nowhere near Webberville to let you know. You will have TO depend on Howell Bob if it goes

I heard that D708 cleared Williamston and is headed East towards South Lyon, is this correct or am I being scammed
Re: CSX Train Location Updates: October, 2020.
D708 is still working either Webberville or Rhtec west of Fowlerville at14:10, plus GLC just showed up an Ann Pere with a ton more cars for CSX.

Rhetec makes industrial compounds. They have a plant on CSX just west of Fowlerville and a plant on GLC in Whitmore Lake (not sure if the GLC location gets rail service anymore). They get plastic pellets and talc.

2742 was the 3rd unit behind 3203+751 on D70506. 68 of their reported 191 cars are to be set off at Lansing, plus a pick up as well so they will be there awhile. Will be interesting to hear the reported axle count between Lansing and GRP. For DriveJon, Rhetec is a plastics plant west of Fowlerville and just east of the DD at MP 64.0. D708 is in the siding at Fowlerville now switching the plastics plant there at 15:11.

When was the cut for 705? And where/what is Ensel because Google Maps won’t show me.LansingRailFan wrote: ↑Tue Oct 06, 2020 3:08 pmHow many does that make for 708? Asking because I thought they left yesterday’s Cars After 708 grabbed?

Ensel yard is the CSX yard on the west side of Lansing between Turner and MLK.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates: October, 2020.
I guess I’m a bit confused. Where was D708 last reported? I’m getting different answers from different rail fans
Re: CSX Train Location Updates: October, 2020.
To unconfuse you, here is the latest as of 16:24, (which would RIGHT NOW as I type. D708 is now leaving Fowlerville, will stop west of Howell to set off the few cars he has in his train, go power light to the Brighton siding, pick up the 56 cars they left there yesterday for GLC, put them in the Howell siding, go back down the main and pick the cars in the GLC transfer track at Ann Pere, go west and pick up the cars they are leaving west of Howell and go back to Lansing. Try and not get confused anymore today because you wont get anything more accurate than this.

17:00 update in Lansing. The tail end of D705 is blocking Larch, North and Turner street crossings. The power has pulled the pickup cars and is tying them on to the consist, now blocking MLK.
Edit: 17:35- they had two cuts to pick up, including cars which had been spotted on the 2nd main. They are about to back down with the second cut into the main train.
D705 heading west, Lansing Airport Road, 18:15.

Holy shnikeys that’s a land barge. These trains are Getting massive and often times requiring two crews due to running out of time. I wonder if we will see q328-9 again?Tom49801 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 06, 2020 6:50 pmD705-06 @ 6:47pm westward reported by the DD mp CH104.3 with 948 axles & 13,766 feet long.
