Re: CSX Train Location Updates - September 2023
Their PTC enforced a speeding violation & stopped them. It was determined the leading engine's speedometer isn't accurate. I don't know what CSX's PTC rules are for "speeding". When I was working with a Signals Engineering firm in Jacksonville, FL I was assigned to the NS account for PTC design/installation & NS considered 3 mph over the speed limit as a speeding violation.
Re: CSX Train Location Updates - September 2023
At approximately 16:20 a very short WB went over us23, couldn't see it and didn't have a scanner but I have to assume it was L302 or L305.
Re: CSX Train Location Updates - September 2023
L303-07 approaching Brighton at 18:20. They sat in the Fowlerville pass for an hour blocking both middle of the siding crossings, waiting for L305 to finish their Howell work. After it was determined that 305 would fit in the siding at Howell, 303 came to Howell to meet 305. L305 had a much larger train leaving Howell than what was reported at Brighton earlier. Now approaching Fowlerville at 18:25. Starting next week, L305 will have a 9:00 call time. I hope that's 9am and not 9pm.
Re: CSX Train Location Updates - September 2023
L30207 by Howell at 19:35 with 44 cars. 7252 + 5347 on the head end. 5347 replaces 799 that was with 7252 last week.
