CSX Train Location Updates - Oct. 2022
Re: CSX Train Location Updates - Oct. 2022
L302-06 by Howell at 05:18 this morning with 120 cars. Has 72 cars to set off in Lansing. 5501 + 7207 on the head end. With only two 5500 units in this number series, 5500 & 5501, what is the chance that both would be in Lansing at the same time this morning. There WILL be a Presidential train to GRP this afternoon on the Plymouth sub.

BNSF #6209 + BNSF #6286 were in elephant style and were the “pusher engines” for coal trains. They headed back to whatever siding they need to go. CSX #3260 was facing east and its dpu BNSF #7143 also faced east.Railfan_Julian8849 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 07, 2022 10:35 amAll elphant style?Andy24 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 07, 2022 8:04 amAt 7:50am, I assume what it was M327’s cars lined up in the yard before U301-07 started

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - Oct. 2022
E800-05 had BNSF engines #6209 + the #6286 as its rear DPU. This pair of BNSF engines were not assigned as be ing the "pusher engines" for the loaded coal trains. CSX engines #3080 + #238 were the former assigned "pusher engines" & on 09/22/2022 they were towed to Detroit on L303-22. Since 09/22/2022, they have been using whatever BNSF pair of engines that were convenient to grab & using them as the "pushers". So, it has been a mix of BNSF engine pairs that have been used as the "pushers".Andy24 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 07, 2022 4:40 pmBNSF #6209 + BNSF #6286 were in elephant style and were the “pusher engines” for coal trains.

Technically, they are not "pusher engines" since pushers are added to the rear of a train. They have been running the loaded coal trains by adding the so called "pushers" behind the leading engine, where, they end up having 3 engines on the head end & 1 rear dpu on their train.
Out of habit, the engineers & dispatchers still use the phrase "pusher engines".
