Re: CSX Train Location Updates - January 2021
V764 is called for this morning. Has not left Plymouth yet. Might make for some good snow shots at crossings.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - January 2021
Don't be fooled by the axel count when they got that far, Tom. D705 went west by Howell at 05:17 with 179 cars. The usual power with DPU after the 87th car, but they also had two additional units on the head end. With the snow and fog, I could not even tell if they were four axel or six axel but they were there. Perhaps they stole the two units off the empty grain train at Beck Road Plymouth so when the crew gets there to take it west, there wont be any power on it. 705 also, as expected, had those eight ash cars and a ton of loaded scrap ties for GLC that D706 yesterday took for a ride to Detroit. Those cars either should not have not been picked up, or if they were, sat off in Brighton.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - January 2021
Maybe they couldn’t set off in Brighton because the switches were frozen? Thus the fires on Friday to heat em up.BL2-1843 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 31, 2021 10:27 amDon't be fooled by the axel count when they got that far, Tom. D705 went west by Howell at 05:17 with 179 cars.

D705-30 @ 10:43am reported by the DD mp CH104.3 with 678 axles(?) & 9,740(?) feet long. Part of the DD's call had static & was stepped on. Will re-check it when it becomes available in the scanner archives. Assuming the engines were spun around & CSXT #738 is leading with the CSXT #3211 as the DPU.
[Can't make a clear call for axle count from the archives either. As of 11:52am nothing further heard from D705 which could be due to the weather station broadcasts stepping on everything]

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - January 2021
Something's on it's way thru Brighton now, the horn sounds different so I'm guessing it's the SD70MACe on V764 from Plymouth.
Update: "Clear westbound 49...713" at 11:01
Update: they are calling as V713, but it's definitely the MACe leading, I recognized the road number.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - January 2021
This would have made the axle count from the DD at mp CH104.3 to be either 672 axles (4 engines & 162 cars) or 676 axles (4 engines & 163 cars). The replay for the DD call in archives still couldn't pin the axle count. The 1st 2 digits were heard clearly (67_). As of 12:07pm, I haven't heard anything further from D705 since the DD104.3 call out. Getting a lot of weather radio calls interfering with the scanner today & maybe D705's calls were being stepped on since then.LansingRailFan wrote: ↑Sun Jan 31, 2021 11:03 amExtra units were 8064 and 8350 - 2 six axle units.BL2-1843 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 31, 2021 10:27 amDon't be fooled by the axel count when they got that far, Tom.

Crew's on duty time may have ran out, too. As of 2:07pm, still nothing heard, and no yarding instructions from Rougemere heard either during all of this time.
