[quote=Sparrow24 Says: 17:45 - L305-22 running around in South Lyon.

L305 has 4014+4228 like he always does. Speaking of, L302 & L303, it has been running back and forth with the same power (352+5229) but different crews in each 24 hour period for the last four days as the crew call times are adjusted so they can use only one set power on both trains, but with different crews.

Darn, that was an error on my part, I had read Sparrow's post with L302 on my mind. I want to delete my reply to him, but, I'm not getting the red X to allow me to delete.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - Sept 2022
Curious on why L302 and L303 been using the same power. Would be better if they used 2 sets of engines instead of 1 set.BL2-1843 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 22, 2022 7:10 pmL305 has 4014+4228 like he always does.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - Sept 2022
R597-22 @ 21:23 copied his EC1 at West Olive mp CGP 1.0 to proceed westward to Wells Siding mp CG41.4 & tie down with BNSF engine #8997 & 130 empty coal cars & BNSF engines #6178 + #9317 + #5670. It is assumed he has BNSF engines #9317 + #5671 that will serve as the added power for C800-21 that had tied down in Grand Jct siding mp CG54 this morning. The former CSX power #3080 + #238 was taken to Saugatuck siding mp CG33 a couple of days ago to be taken by M327 to Chicago, but, ended up remaining there & they were moved today to Holland by Y121-22.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - Sept 2022
R597-22 @ 22:52 advised the Dispatcher he does have the 2 extra BNSF engines in his consist & he will be tying down his train in Wells Siding & then the crew will take a taxi from there to Holland, pick up CSX engines #3080 + #238 lite power & take them to Grand Rapids. Probably can expect to see those CSX engines either as the power for tomorrow's M327-23 or in tow.Tom49801 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 22, 2022 9:40 pmR597-22 @ 21:23 copied his EC1 at West Olive mp CGP 1.0 to proceed westward to Wells Siding mp CG41.4 & tie down with BNSF engine #8997 & 130 empty coal cars & BNSF engines #6178 + #9317 + #5671.
