Re: CSX Train Location Updates - Nov. 2022
Have these issues gotten worse over the years? Signals not coming in, track circuits not clearing up, etc. I've only been on RRF hearing about it for a couple of years, did this happen as often five, ten, twenty years ago? Long before RRF and my scanner setup, I remember incidents where trains would suddenly stop in Brighton, then continue, nothing would pass in the siding while they held main, perhaps this is why? Of course, I ask because rumor is the searchlights will fall in Spring '23, just like they were supposed to in Spring '22, and '21. Sunfield falls in the area with newer equipment.

Sunfield definitely isn’t newer equipment. Hell, some of the masts out there in between Lake O and Ensel are old semaphore masts with targets attachedamessmann wrote: ↑Tue Nov 08, 2022 5:36 pmHave these issues gotten worse over the years?

The Ann Pere signal issues for both CSX & GLC is a GLC issue which they do not seem to be in any hurry to get it fixed.
