Re: CSX Train Location Updates - May 2023
So what happens to to U301-05? Do they get another engine from on M326 from Chicago or wait for a spare to come from GR on a L301 on Monday with a normal run?

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - May 2023
It’s too bad to hear what happened with L301/U301. They have been having issues with engines. They need another engine or pair to tow the entire train. U301-05 was expected to head to Sawyer to work but ended up breaking down on Riverside double tracks at mp CG 80.9Mivers1988 wrote: ↑Sat May 06, 2023 5:47 pmSo what happens to to U301-05?

This will cause issues for other trains if one of the two main tracks is occupied, if they need to take the siding

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - May 2023
2nd unit turned out to be 3451 instead of 3457. BBRR 3545, for MQT is the most dirty and badly faded G&W unit I have ever seen. 302 had as many stone loads, if not more, as L303 had as empties on the rear of their train. (33)

18:45 L303 heading east waiting west of the Plymouth the diamond . CSXT 4564 + CSXT 890
Re: CSX Train Location Updates - May 2023
19:05 - L302-06 thru the diamonds at Trowbridge. I'm used to seeing these generically painted locomotives shine in the light. The Operation Lifesaver sticker on the rear conductors' side is peeling too, visible in the above photo. Of note to me at least is the single headlight on the rear of the locomotive, always an interesting difference from the norm.
