Re: CSX Train Location Updates - Oct. 2023
Thank you, Pudgy, it appears the "2" for 27 was cut off during the radio conversation & reviewed it a few times from the scanner archives & still just heard "7". Lately, some of the engineers have been just answering "yes" for the dpu during their job briefing. I had gotten used to them stating the actual dpu location as some had in the past.
