Re: CSX Train Location Updates - September 2023
From a partial job briefing I had heard before L302 departed Detroit, it sounded like he has 93 cars (52 loads + 41 empties) @ 9,209 tons & 6,212 feet long. If correct, the DD sites would report 384 axles. I can't hear the DD reports from the locations east of Lansing.

E800-28 @ 19:44 Pearl, Mi mp CG43.3 job briefing with the RN Dispatcher: BNSF engine #8477 & 130 empty coal cars & rear dpu BNSF engine #9306 @ 2,704 tons & 7,060 feet long. He can only go as far as Grand Jct siding mp CG54 & will wait inside there until Amtrak P370 clears by. This is due to all of the sidings west of Bangor, Mi being occupied: the 28 MoW cars that were tied down in Gross siding were cleared out today but it has 4 crossings & E800 would be blocking most of them. Kirk siding has equipment tied down inside, the double track in Benton Harbor now has the 28 MoW cars tied down there & L301-29 ended up tying down in Livingston (the 1st siding west of the St Joseph Bridge).
E800-28 @ 20:02 westward reported by the Defect Detector mp CG44.2 with 532 axles.

By EE Sawyer CG104.6 at 9:55, second unit looked to be smoking quite a bit out my window.
On a side note, he’s probably going to be meeting 326 in New Buffalo.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - September 2023
Wondering about that L301-29 that died in Livingston siding last night. Getting a re-crew soon?
Re: CSX Train Location Updates - September 2023
Crew on duty 1000 to taxi to Livingston to bring train to GR.
