Re: CSX Train Location Updates - December 2023
Thank you for confirming M327's dpu position GP30M4216
M327-13 @ 07:18 westward reported by the Defect Detector mp CG19.1 Zeeland, Mi with 532 axles. CSX engine #759 + mid dpu CSX engine #3243 & 130 cars. This is 10 more cars than the job briefing had indicated. I listened to M327's briefing again & he had said "54 by 66 by 10" for his car totals I don't know what "by 10" means? 54 by 66 means 54 loads + 66 empties. Will have to watch him by the Bangor Live cam to see what's going on.

Thanks for the car total info, Pudgy. That was the 1st time I had heard a job briefing stating 3 sets of numbers for the consist. Any idea why it was stated as being "54 by 66 by 10" ?pudgy wrote: ↑Wed Dec 13, 2023 8:14 amM327 64 x 66.M327-13 @ 07:18 westward reported by the Defect Detector mp CG19.1 Zeeland, Mi with 532 axles.
