Re: CSX Train Location Updates - May 2023
Late report but I’m 99% sure they were spotting this neat looking classic BNSF covered hopper in Zeeland at Vanden Bosch Feed. First grain load in a while, I think. BNSF 468829. 1 covered hopper holding down the rails at Plastcore. Zeeland Lumber is empty and business has been slow as of late.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - May 2023
I did see your post about CSX 3124 and CSX 5112, but I could not report the train itself to DD 104.3 and DD 126.3 since it passed already. Thanks for telling me they are elephant style which will reflect my L303-16 post
