Re: CSX Train Location Updates - June 2023
That was L303-26 Code lines always go down somewhere on the Plymouth Sub when it rains, and it has been raining more than it hasn't since 11:00. Sounds like L305 turned at Fowerville again. This is getting to be the norm.AndrewsTrains wrote: ↑Mon Jun 26, 2023 5:35 pmL302 clear east end Brighton. Code lines were down. 3 autoracks up front and stones in the middle

The reason for this is GLC not running south as much due to a crew shortage

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - June 2023
19:35 - L302 west through South Lyon.
Green Oak DD at CH39.1 reported over 500 axles, was hard to hear due to poor quality transmissions simultaneously on the channel.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - June 2023
Should be 560 axles if I did the math right. 137 x 4 = 548, 2 x 6 = 12, 548 + 12 = 560.
But yeah, it is a MASSIVE TRAIN
