"Sparrow24 could be described as a mediocre railfan, as he is generally disinterested in horn types and couldn't tell you one locomotive from another."

Re: CSX Location Updates - Oct 2021
I’m going to take credit for this event, as I am heading southward for Chattanooga, TN for the week on business today. When I leave, something cool is much, much more likely to show up. We have a 10+ year history of this now. LolTom49801 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 31, 2021 10:37 amN800-28 @ 10:34 eastward reported by the DD mp CG91.9 with 532 axles & 6,958 feet long.

Re: CSX Location Updates - Oct 2021
Q327-31 @ 11:04 Grand Rapids train markup with the RN Dispatcher: CSX engines #4551 + #5254. He continued on by saying "we're 4 by 21 by 12, 32 by 1563". I don't understand what he means by this. Usually, I'll hear "we're 4 by 21" meaning he has 4 loaded cars & 21 empties, but the additional info he had said this morning I've not heard before.
Ok, I did hear him tell Dispatch he only has 25 cars.
After hearing the DD19.1 report @ 12:36 saying 1,544 feet I'm assuming Q327 was giving the dispatcher 1,563 as his length. Could the "32" mean 3,200 tons?

705 is a pretty short train today compared to what I’ve seen…
