22:47 CT: Eastbound by Michigan City. Louder horn than usual, and off key. They sounded really slow here around Carroll Ave, read above to see that they probably have a restriction due to a partial activation.
Re: CSX Train Location Updates - May 2023
01:04 - L304-09 calling dispatch reporting engine issues, "trail engine is trail only" as well as an "FRE defect"? Both engines have "about 3000 gallons" of fuel.
They are calling from engine 2428. Just working Stone Co. and doing yard work tonight on account of their issues.
