Re: CSX Train Location Updates - December 2023
Believe the train is being stored at Wyoming and the engine needs to be sent out for its quarterly inspection. Not sure exactly how it's going to go out, or for how long in GR.MuskegonRailfanning wrote: ↑Wed Dec 13, 2023 1:29 pmAny clue if hes tying down for the night or for a few/couple hours?pudgy wrote: ↑Wed Dec 13, 2023 1:11 pmNo, should be a straight shot to GR, crew doesn't have allot of extra time to work with.justin_gram wrote: ↑Wed Dec 13, 2023 12:49 pmAnyone know if W003 is hitting all of the sidings this time?

Ironically I’m pretty sure they did that same thing back in 2020 when the same train set came up. They took the 9969 back to Chicago on 326 and left the cars in the yard

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - December 2023
OK, what are the plans for this CSX Geometry Train? pudgy reported that the loco (CSX GP40WH-2 #9969) will go for its "Quarterly Inspection!" Will this happen? Or will this train continue east? I have never caught this engine, but have seen CSX "Geometry Trains" before! Here's a photo (©MichiganRailfan_69) of CSX 9969 in Holland and reported bound for Rougemere: https://heritageunits.com/locomotive/photo/71227Tom49801 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 13, 2023 2:59 pmL303-13 @ 14:55 released his EC1 for Ensel / Lake Odessa & ready to depart eastward from Lansing & headed to Detroit with CSX engines #103 + #9051 leading.
