L302-08 @ 21:39 westward reported by the Defect Detector mp CH126.3 Clarksville, Mi with 500 axles. CSX engine #965 + mid dpu CSX engine #3027 & 122 cars.
Re: CSX Train Location Updates - Aug 2023
21:46 - B235 west thru Brighton, CP 8700 leading and KCSM 4749 as rear DPU. 85 potash cars. 8700 faces west and 4749 faces east.
Beat the head end to Main St. by a matter of seconds! These usually return as B235 right? Just with a different date code?

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - Aug 2023
I wonder what route this train will take after taking the empty potash cars out.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - Aug 2023
For the last few years these potash trains have been coming from Chicago east to Ohio, then to Plymouth and eventually to Webberville. IIRC they used to come directly from Chicago, up through your neck of the woods, and east to Webberville, not sure what changed. Usually they come back through Plymouth on their way back however I thought at one time an empty B235 went west to Grand Rapids on their return trip, maybe before the latest symbol change.
