Re: CSX Train Location Updates - Oct. 2022
WB CSX L306/CN H711 at noon is lined out of Pirt Huron to Flint.
I caught L306 yesterday SB at M-29 in Marysville with CSX 4067/4068 f/r at 14:00 with a dozen cars or so.
OD time for L306 seems to be around 09:00 in Marysville. They’ll either cab to Flint and take train to Marysville or can home from Flint as they go one way each day.
L307 is OD around dinner time and works out of the Marysville yard. There’s another pair of CSX units and also a caboose in that yard.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - Oct. 2022
I've seen L305 reverse into Howell many times before, they use the Ogihara runaround about a half mile west for that operation.
This I-96 overpass, the one near Latson Rd. or the one more towards Ann Pere? I wonder if L305 or L303 will end up moving the grainer out of the way, accounting for the problematic power. L305 helped push an eastbound grain train to Brighton a few winters back iirc.
