Re: CSX Train Location Updates - December 2023
No L301 today, crew availability issues. That's why Y121 is running their cars into Wyoming.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - December 2023
L302-26 between 14:57/15:27 held his job briefing & was doubling up his train. His side of the conversation was all static & could only hear the Dispatcher's side. Dispatcher didn't mention L302's leading engine number.SD80MAC wrote: ↑Tue Dec 26, 2023 4:12 pmMight not be an L302 until L303's power reaches Detroit.Andy24 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 26, 2023 3:31 pmY121-26 @ 15:24 westbound reported a Clear Signal at Grandville, MI with CSX #6137 LHF and 28 cars.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - December 2023
16:58 - L302 thru Brighton with 27 and 5460 leading 53 cars.
Earlier around 15:00, GLC pushed the tail end of their train into the transfer at Ann Pere, where L305's power was waiting.
I did not stick around however it sounded like they headed west shortly after.
