Re: CSX Train Location Updates - November 2023
Another train going through South lyon. Not sure the direction this time but considering that G803 and both L303 and L302 have passed its probably an empty grain train for Webberville.
Re: CSX Train Location Updates - November 2023
No train on record having run in that time frame. Possibly the rail grinder heading back towards Detroit? Last I've seen of that unit it was west of GR working on the Fremont Sub... But haven't heard where it went after that.Vinnie5497 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 11, 2023 1:07 amAnother train going through South lyon.
