Re: CSX Train Location Updates - Oct. 2023
BNSF ECXCBTM @ 9:22 Central Time on the Galesburg, IL Railcam has this same pair heading to the Black Thunder Mines in Wyoming State.
Also, it is unknown if this loaded coal train with a 2 x 0 x 1 formation will be heading to West Olive. This loaded coal has the same route as our loaded and empty coal trains that runs on.

West Olive empties south at Riley St. Holland 5:52 PM. Couldn't they have just run these down an hour or two ago when we actually had sunshine on the north side of Holland?

At this time, no idea where CSX #759 and CSX #3243 is at, unless they are in a siding already.
L302-28 @ 22:32 is currently finishing up their yarding instructions and be done for the day
Amtrak P370-28 @ 22:40 is arriving at Holland Station mp CG25.3. IDTX engine #4629 & 3 cars (2 Horizon Coaches + AmCafe).
Amtrak P370-28 @ 22:43 departing Holland Station with a clear signal

Expecting a C800-C801 to come overnight

C800-27 @ 02:22:16 eastward Bangor’s Division St crossing mp CG60.93 live cam with BNSF engine #8505 & 130 loaded coal cars & rear dpu BNSF Executive engine #9687. He had added CSX engines #3243 + #759 behind his leader at Grand Jct mp CG54 & ended up tying down in Wells siding due to trouble with their leader. They had released their EC1 at 04:36
I can't find an EC1 for whom had brought the CSX engines to Grand Jct, it wasn't R598-28 that had brought the empty coal train to there & we hadn't seen the CSX power being used these last few days & assuming those were the engines added to C800-28 since there wasn't any remaining BNSF engines after E800-28 ran last night. Note: there are issues with the online scanners since yesterday.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - Oct. 2023
Thanks for that information Tom. I don't use the online scanners though. I do have my own scanner that's in my car. I recently put a new antenna on it so my range of reception is much higher.
I was also in fennville so I heard the whole thing about the engine and the commotion that they had. But I thought they got going because I came back to well siding and I didn't see them. I could see down the whole track. But it does make sense that they tied down because now I'm in Holland and I haven't heard anything.
I also got a chuckle. When I heard the engineer say something about the engine he callee it BNSF junk
