MOW on CSX Grand Rapids area
MOW on CSX Grand Rapids area
I saw a MOW crew working in Wyoming Yard today. I'm curious what other MOW projects are scheduled for 2021 on CSX G. R. Sub?
Re: MOW on CSX Grand Rapids area
I believe they are just maintaining the yard

Principally, they are getting the Even Yard, or west end classification bowl, back into service.

Do they really need too? Seems like the Odd Yard could handle most of everythingSaturnalia wrote: ↑Wed Apr 28, 2021 12:13 amPrincipally, they are getting the Even Yard, or west end classification bowl, back into service.

Increase of traffic says otherwise. Wyoming has been the most stuffed I have seen in years these past few weeks.Talk wrote: ↑Wed Apr 28, 2021 7:56 amDo they really need too?

Re: MOW on CSX Grand Rapids area
Its funny because less than two months ago there was talk of ripping out the even yard. Funny how fast railroads change.
Re: MOW on CSX Grand Rapids area
What other MOW work is on the agenda next? If anyone knows please post.

Re: MOW on CSX Grand Rapids area
So it turns out that the info on rehabbing the Even Yard was incorrect. They worked the Odd Yard and have left.
Word is the Even Yard starts getting ripped out this week.

Re: MOW on CSX Grand Rapids area
The "word" over the winter was the odd yard was being ripped out. The last few weeks proved that wrong. Let's wait and see what happens.Saturnalia wrote: ↑Sun May 09, 2021 3:04 pmSo it turns out that the info on rehabbing the Even Yard was incorrect. They worked the Odd Yard and have left.

Re: MOW on CSX Grand Rapids area
I don’t think anyone ever said the odd yard was being ripped out, as that’s what they’ve been using while the even has been locked out for the past year and a half.

That was a bridge re-decking and judging from the recent photos it's all done.

Re: MOW on CSX Grand Rapids area
It looks like the track equipment that had been working in the yard at Wyoming and then taken east on D706 has been spotted near Oak Yard/Detroit.
Re: MOW on CSX Grand Rapids area
MOW crew @ MP 6 with red placards next to the right of way. Looks like some tie replacement were the switches are in Grandville near Wilson Ave.
Also Sperry rail truck was at Pleasant St. getting out of the way of D705 this morning.

Re: MOW on CSX Grand Rapids area
The slow order at MP 6 in Grandville has been lifted for now. New ties were installed at the WE switch were double track goes to single near Wilson Ave. I've observed the Sperry Rail truck all over the area this week so I'm sure more MOW is coming.
Re: MOW on CSX Grand Rapids area
MOW is back at MP 6 in Grandville working on both switches. Hopefully, no more malfunctions at the Wilson Ave. crossing. The flashers and gates sometimes malfunctioned with no train around.
Re: MOW on CSX Grand Rapids area
MOW has returned to MP #6 working on both switches in Grandville.
Re: MOW on CSX Grand Rapids area
still not working right so they put 25 mph slow order over wilson

Re: MOW on CSX Grand Rapids area
Today I see new ties along the main line starting at MP 6 westward past Wilson thru Grandville. Must be tie replacement and resurfacing coming. Hope someone knows when this will take place.
